Abstract/Summary

Report presents the results of a supplementary archaeological evaluation carried out by BUFAU, comprising the topsoil-stripping and gridded manual cleaning of two larger areas within the site, both of which corresponded with previously identified concentrations of prehistoric struck flint. Whilst a number of subsoil features were investigated, these were shown to be either geological in origin, or to be three-throw holes which contained no struck flint: The relationship between the surface scatters of flint and flint tools and any surviving prehistoric activity remains was therefore not resolved.
