Description

Observations were made during the groundworks for the construction an extension to the house and a new garage. Due to ground-raising in the recent past, the trenches cut through at least 2.5m of modern made-up ground before reaching natural sand. No features of archaeological significance were found, although a small quantity of late Iron Age, Roman and medieval pottery was recovered from the spoil heap.<1>
