Abstract: |
Following geophysical survey of the c.20ha site, archaeological evaluation, undertaken in the southern c.10ha of the site, comprised the investigation of sixty-seven trenches, many of which were targeted on geophysical anomalies interpreted to be of natural or post-medieval/modern agricultural origin. Seventeen trenches contained archaeological remains, comprising ditches and a small number of pits, with a slight concentration in the east and south-east of the site. A single pit recorded in the south-east is dated to the Roman period. The majority of recorded features are of post-medieval/modern date, many of which correspond with the geophysical anomalies. Several ditches and a large pit correlate with field boundaries and a pond depicted on historic OS maps. Other, similarly dated ditches were most likely associated with the agricultural use of the landscape. A small number of features were undated. |
