Full Description
2020: An archaeological evaluation revealed features dating to the Neolithic-Bronze Age in trenches located towards the northern corner of the site; two gullies and two possible pits. A small finds assemblage comprising ten sherds of pottery and seventeen struck flint flakes were recovered from these features. All four features were cut into a fine, loose sand natural substrate which was only observed in these three trenches with the natural substrate elsewhere on site comprising mottled chalk and silt patches. Colluvium was identified up to 0.5m in thickness in three trenches; no archaeology was observed truncating the colluvium or being sealed by it. The prehistoric activity appears ephemeral in nature and likely relates to extensive prehistoric activity recorded elsewhere in the vicinity of the site. (S1)
