Type and Period

Description

August 1993. Trial trenching. An archaeological evaluation failed to locate any archaeological features, however several pieces of small and very abraded Roman pottery and post-medieval pottery and a small quantity of flint cores and flakes were recovered from the spoil heaps. It is suggested that findspots in the vicinity (EHER 4948) could be inaccurate. <1> Site Assessment: The absence of archaeological features and the scarcity of archaeological finds suggest that the development area had not been used as a burial ground or settlement area. <1> See also <2>.
