Description
{1} 125 trial trenches were excavated for an archaeological evaluation at Welsh Road. This revealed a small collection of finds and features. The artefactual assemblages spanning from the Iron Age to the early modern era are small and predominantly residual. The Iron Age/ Roman roundhouses and linear features identified are most likely associated to a settlement extending further to the southeast. A rectilinear enclosure towards the center of site confirmed the presence of a possible farmstead/settlement, identified in the geophysical survey.
