Archaeological Evaluation (June 2004)

NO 540 346 (centre) An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in June 2004 in advance of residential development near areas of prehistoric activity (NO53SW 18; NO53SW 35) on the N side of the proposed development area. Four trenches were machine-excavated, covering an area of c 300m². Several features were uncovered, cut into natural sand and gravel, comprising mainly shallow ditches and possible pits. One large ditch, a cut or slot with associated stake-holes, a post-hole and a stone setting were also found. No dating evidence was recovered but it is considered that these features represent prehistoric activity, possibly associated with sites identified close to the N side of the site. It is possible that the stone setting represented the truncated ploughed-out remains of a short cist.
