Full Description
August 2014. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site of proposed new ground-source heating system for St Andrew’s Church.
The three trenches excavated revealed what was possibly a truncated prehistoric pit. This very shallow sub-circular feature was found to contain a small number of abraded prehistoric pottery sherds and a fragment of fired clay. The quartz tempered pottery could only be broadly dated as probably Middle to Late Bronze Age or Iron Age.
No unstratified finds were recovered.
Information from report uploaded to OASIS. HER copy awaited.
