Description

Archaeological Trial Trench Evaluation The evaluation comprised the excavation of thirteen trenches measuring 40.00m in length by 1.80m in width across the proposed development area. This represents a 5% sample of the overall site. The trenches were placed using a random grid array across the 2.90ha site. The trenches were, however, located with due regard to the location of services and taking into consideration ecological/arboricultural constraints. The trial trench evaluation comprised the excavation of thirteen trenches across the development area. The data recovered indicated past activity on the site principally dating to the Iron Age and the 1st century BC or AD.
