Description
Thirty evaluation trenches were mechanically excavated across the 5.5ha site. Geoarchaeological testing was conducted across the site in tandem with the archaeological trial trenching. Five large test pits, were excavated in an E-W line across the site in order to investigate the natural river gravel deposits for their Palaeolithic potential. The 2m-long test pits were machine-excavated within the approximate centres of evaluation Trenches 3, 21, 22, 24 and 25, and were dug to a depth of about 3m. No humanly-struck flints or deposits with palaeoenvironmental potential were encountered.
