Full Description
Evaluation trenching of an area of former heath prior to residential development revealed very little evidence of past activity with the only archaeological feature being a shallow pit containing two sherds of early Neolithic pottery (S1).
Following an evaluation which recorded a single pit of early Neolithic date on a c1 hectare area of former heath land an area 20m x 20m was stripped of top and subsoil centred on this prehistoric feature. However this small scale excavation did not reveal any further dateable deposits with the only features being a small, shallow scoop and three probable animal burrows (S2).
