NHER 58139 (Monument record) - Prehistoric, Anglo-Saxon and medieval finds and features

February 2011. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development. Twelve trial trenches excavated. Contexts 1-56.
Several archaeological features were encountered, the majority of which were located in the southern part of the site. These consisted of two field boundaries and a large hollow which contained sherds of Early Saxon, Late Saxon and medieval pottery.
A small post hole located in the north of the area contained several sherds of Beaker period pottery, and it is possible that this feature may be associated with the Bronze Age barrows to the north and east of the development area.
See report (S1) for details.
