Full Description

An evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on the site of a proposed housing development. Six trenches (total area 270m2) were excavated, representing approximately 3% of the total area of the site. The natural stratum was sand and gravel with a slight downward slope from north to south. It was overlaid by a sequence of subsoil, ploughsoil and topsoil deposits. A post-medieval ditch and a sheep burial that was probably of the same period were the only obviously man-made features. Another feature is interpreted as a probable tree-throw hollow (S1).
