Full Description
Survey and excavation of seven consumption dykes was carried out by AOC between April and June 2004 in advance of proposed housing development. The profiles and structural characteristics of the dykes were fully recorded, with two sections being excavated across each dyke; a watching brief was maintained during subsequent removal of the dykes. Two small sherds of prehistoric pottery were retrieved from disturbed deposits below and adjacent to Dyke 2. Further evaluation of the ground below and adjacent to the dykes, and a watching brief on the first two areas of topsoil stripping, failed to reveal any further archaeological remains.
