Full Description
Archaeological features and deposits of prehistoric to modern date were identified in ten evaluation trenches. A small assemblage of flint debitage was recovered from an accumulation of soil in a natural depression. The flint ranges in date from the Neolithic to the later prehistoric period. Lesser amounts of struck/worked flint (including a core, a blade and a bladelet of probable Mesolithic/Early Neolithic date) were collected from the ploughsoil and as residual finds in post-medieval features. Two small pits ( or possible natural features) each produced a single undiagnostic flint flake , both of which were poorly stratified surface finds. Post-medieval features consisted of a ditch (corresponding to a field boundary shown on early 19th-century maps). And an infilled gravel put. Five small pits were either modern or undated (S1).
