Full Description
PRN 54514
During trial trenching on land off Church Lane 39 worked flints were recovered. These ranged in date from early Neolithic to late Bronze Age. The flints were found scattered within most of the trenches but there was a slight concentration on the high ground at the northern end of the site. There is no evidence for a prehistoric occupation area on this site but there may be such an area nearby. {1}{2}
A long running watching brief on the development also found a sparse scatter of similar flints. {3}{4}
A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks on Church Lane prior to development. 19 flints dating between the late Mesolithic and early Bronze Age were recovered from unstratified deposits. {5}{6}
