Monument record CAC 031 - Carlton Park Phase 2B (S of bypass)

Evaluation revealed dispersed features including two pits and EIA pottery and a possible cremation (undated). A large ditch of med/pmed date separated the sand from clay soils.
Across the central part of the development area (CAC 031) , widely spaced features of probable preh date were revealed. One small and one larger pit both contained EIA pottery. An undated, isolated cremation is of probable BA or IA date. Significant preh features have been found to the E (CAC 001/026) and to the south (CAC 03), and it is likely that these individual features are outliers from these main concentrations and represent utilisation of the whole landscape during the preh period.
A very large ditch, 3.5m in width was recognised running NE to SW across the site. This could be the continuation of a large ditch on a similar alignment from site CAC 030 to the SW. This feature appears to define the boundary between sand and clay naturl subsoils (S1)(S3).
