Full Description
October 2011. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site (Phase I).
The two trenches excavated recorded a single pit in the southeastern portion of the site. A single 17th-century token was recovered from the pit, indicating that it may have been used during this period. The 1905 Ordnance Survey map (S2) indicates a possible quarry within this field which, combined with the nature of the soils in the area, suggests that it may have be a quarry pit. A single Late Prehistoric struck flint fragment was also recovered from the topsoil.
See report (S1) for further details.
