Abstract: |
This evaluation is the continuation of a previous evaluation. The archaeological evaluation combined targeted trenches to specifically investigate geophysical anomalies, and a more general spread of trenches to test apparent blank areas and ensure a relatively even spread of trenches across the site. This evaluation comprised 12 trenches, five of which were the cancelled of the evaluation in 2017 due to a live badger sett that was discovered towards the northern edge of the site. Additionally due to the quarry entrance redesign, seven more trenches were positioned along the South-East edge of site. A small number of archaeological features were found during the evaluation. An undated pit was uncovered in the northern potion of the site (Trench 8), its lack of archaeological material and steep profile may suggest is the result of quarrying. Another pit was found (Trench 9) to contained Early Bronze Age pottery derived from as least two fragmented vessels, along with burnt flint and a fragment of animal bone. This feature may possibly be associated with the round barrows located to the north-east and south-east of the site. A single ditch was uncovered in the southern area (Trench 39) which corresponded with the results of the geophysical survey, no finds were recovered. Geophysical anomalies that could be identified as subsurface ‘features’ were found to be either geological in origin or the result of bioturbation (tree throws). |
