Abstract: |
14-trench evaluation Fourteen trenches were opened but no archaeological features were found during the investigation, which encountered only quarrying waste and, in three trenches, unquarried bedrock that represents the depth limit of historical quarry works. The trenching demonstrated significant quarrying impact to depths likely to have truncated and probably removed archaeological horizons. The quarry waste contained cultural materials that indicate the landscape’s former prehistoric and Roman occupation, as well as documenting historical aspects of its quarrying operations into the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. |
