Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of land was conducted due to its proximity to a number of known significant archaeological sites, including St. Peter's Church. The medieval manor house may have been in the vicinity of the site, adjacent to the church. Three trenches were excavated to locate and identify any archaeological remains that could be affected by a proposed development. The evaluation provided evidence of undated archaeological features in the south-east part of the site. These were in the form of a pit and a gully cut into the natural clay. It was possible that these features could have dated to the medieval or post-medieval period. The presence of deep layers of topsoil and subsoil, sealing the archaeological features, suggested that the site had been used for agriculture prior to the construction of works buildings in the 20th century. The depth and location of the archaeological features recorded meant that they were unlikely to be affected by the proposed development. [Au(abr)] |
