Description
Evaluation trenches were carried out after geophysics and metal detecting surveys on the site. The fieldwork took place between the 10th and 27th February 2015. A total of 63 trenches were excavated within the proposed development area, with some trenches targeting archaeological features suggested by geophysical survey and others located to test supposedly blank areas in the geophysics. The evaluation revealed evidence of a prehistoric field system, an Iron Age trackway and an Anglo-Saxon cemetery (S1).
