July 2017. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of new structures.
Two ditches were exposed within the stripped area, the earlier of which was an east to west aligned feature that contained a small amount of Roman pottery, along with a residual flint flake of likely Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date and a burnt flint. The Roman pottery assemblage is fragmentary and abraded, with various vessels represented. It had likely been deposited during the mid to late 1st century AD. This Roman ditch was cut by a north-west to south-east aligned ditch that produced no finds.
Two modern services trenches were also identified.
Information from report uploaded to OASIS. HER copy awaited.
