Abstract: |
Excavation of four 15m trenches was carried out using a mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless ditching bucket under direct archaeological supervision. Soil was removed in level spits of no more than 0.2m until either the top of the first archaeological horizon or undisturbed natural was reached. The resulting surface was inspected for archaeological remains. The two discrete features encountered were 50% sampled in accordance with the specification. Despite lying in an area of known archaeological potential, no evidence was found to suggest any remains of archaeological significance existed on the site. One trench exposed a pit containing a dog burial, along with 19th-century ceramic material. The remaining trenches produced evidence for significant disturbance relating to the construction and recent demolition of agricultural structures associated with the farmhouse. |
