Description

PROJECT DETAILS An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Hopkins Homes Ltd ahead of the construction of new housing and associated roads and parking. This evaluation produced two post-medieval ditches (in different trenches but probably the same ditch) and one undated ditch, and a large deposit of subsoil. The post-medieval ditch may have formed the western edge of a sinuous trackway whose eastern edge survives as the eastern edge of the development site. The large amount of topsoil and subsoil, and the artefacts retrieved from it suggest that the site has been subject to intensive arable agriculture or horticulture since at least the late medieval period.
