Abstract/Summary
‘The evaluation revealed a large number of cut features of certain and probable archaeological interest, though few produced dating evidence. The notable exception to this is a curvilinear ditch from which a deposition of late Neolithic Grooved Ware pottery was recovered. A few other features produced sherds of Roman pottery, iron slag and a prehistoric chert flake. One sherd of unstratified Late Iron Age pottery was recovered.’
