Abstract: |
The sixteen evaluation trenches and open-area extension to Trench 3 were excavated by a JCB excavator equipped with a ditching bucket with an archaeologist in attendance at all times. The trenches were positioned to provide a sample of the whole area, while targeting the anomalies identified in the geophysical survey which might prove to be of archaeological origin. The trenches were machine excavated in level spits of no more than 0.2m until natural deposits or the first archaeological horizon was encountered, thereafter, all investigations were undertaken by hand. Detailed records sheets were completed for each trench and these are included as part of the site archive. All written records were produced on pro-forma recording sheets in accordance with ASWYAS site recording manual The archaeological trial trenching confirmed the findings of the geophysical survey, in that no significant archaeological remains or deposits were observed. The potential for Anglo- Scandinavian settlement activity suggested by historical field names was not identified and the evaluation did not find any activity relating to local cropmarks, attributed to the later prehistoric and Romano-British periods. |
