Evaluation
Rob Engl and Victoria Clements – AOC Archaeology Group
NH 68948 45386 and NH 69138 44634 A 5% sample evaluation was carried out on two land parcels, consisting of 36 trenches covering a total basal area of 3,560m², 12–16 January 2009 prior to development. The evaluation revealed numerous features of archaeological significance, including a large enclosure ditch of probable prehistoric date and a variety of pit and posthole features. Artefacts recovered from the pit features included a single flint flake and prehistoric pottery including Neolithic Grooved Ware. A large quantity of impressed daub was also revealed in the ditch terminus.
