Full Description
{1} Archaeological evaluation of land centred on SP988775 carried out in 1989. Widespread remains have long been attested in the area, including a former Roman villa at SP988774. The evaluation demonstrated the widespread survival of Iron Age ditches and postholes in the southern half of the field. Subsequent quarrying was therefore confined to the northern part of the application site, which lay largely outside the area of archaeological interest.
