• WI025-058 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  An area of improved grassland was stripped of topsoil before the construction of the new N11 road. It was chosen because of its location, overlooking a small, unnamed stream that flowed along its southern boundary. The area was tested by a series of mechanically excavated trenches. These uncovered a number of possible areas of archaeological activity. Subsequent excavation of these features revealed most to be either modern or natural. However, two pits produced sherds of prehistoric pottery, possibly Western Neolithic. The field was then subjected to monitored topsoil-stripping, which revealed a range of pits and gullies. As with the testing, many of these features proved to be of limited archaeological significance. None of the features appeared to form a discernible pattern (Bennett 2004, 525).
