Full Description
PRN 13473
MEDIEVAL AGRICULTURAL REMAINS WERE IDENTIFIED DURING AN EVALUATION ON LAND ADJACENT TO LOW ROAD. PRESENT ACROSS MOST OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AREA WERE A SERIES OF LINEAR EARTHWORKS, IDENTIFIED AS RIDGE AND FURROW. THESE WERE ABSENT FROM THE NORTHERN PORTION. ALONG THE EAST BOUNDARY THE HEADLAND, WHERE THE PLOUGH TURNED, IS VISIBLE AS DISTINCTIVE RISES IN THE GROUND LEVEL. SEPARATING THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SITE WAS A LINEAR SLOPE THAT ONCE FORMED A FIELD BOUNDARY. A SMALL CURVILINEAR HOLLOW WAS VISIBLE IN THE NORTH EAST CORNER OF THE SITE AND MAY REPRESENT A FORMER DITCH. MEDIEVAL POTTERY WAS ALSO RECOVERED FROM LATER DEPOSITS. {1}{2}
