Full Description
A programme of archaeological evaluation was carried out by AOC Archaeology on Stage 1 of a large scale mixed use development. Evaluation carried out in August 2013 on infrastructure works (Stage 1A) identified limited archaeological remains. A total of 28 trenches were excavated, but only a single feature revealed, a stone filled pit which contained no artefacts to indicate a date. Remains of rig and furrow cultivation were identified in some trenches. Two unstratified lithics were recovered, one a burnt flint chunk, the other a flint split nodule, both of prehistoric date but which cannot be dated more closely. Evaluation of the Stage 1B (residential works), comprising 35 trenches, identified only two, inter-cutting, stone filled pits. Two unstratified lithics were recovered including a well made end scraper of Neolithic date. The area had suffered extensive plough scarring.
