Full Description
January-February 2019. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of area to be affected by proposed junction improvements and associated highway works (Area A; Trenches 1, 3-9 and 11).
The nine trenches excavated in this part of the site revealed three probable ditches and two pits, all of which produced little or no dating evidence. One of the pits contained a single fill of dark, presumably charcoal-rich material that produced several prehistoric worked flints.
The ditches were undated but potentially of some antiquity, with no evidence to suggest they were associated with former post-medieval or modern field boundaries.
A thick subsoil deposit was present in all of the trenches.
Unstratified finds were limited to additional worked flints and fragments of post-medieval/modern brick or tile.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
