Full Description
2013:A small evaluation trench and further monitoring of ground disturbance during construction work for new play equipment installations revealed a buried soil deposit in a shallow depression below a layer of windblown sands. The shallow nature of the development (less than 0.3m deep) meant that it did not impact on this buried soil layer, which remains underneath the play area installations (S1).
Descriptions of flint finds are broad, dating to a specific period bracket is ill-advised. However, they may be later Prehistoric, based on details of discovery, (S2).
