Description
Geophysical survey carried out in March 2018 by Magnitude Surveys in advance of groundworks for HS2 failed to identify any archaeological anomalies (B1).
Evaluation trial trenching by INFRA in March 2019 identified a single shallow oval late Neolithic pit, 0.8m x 0.66m and 0.09m deep containing sherds of Grooved Ware pottery, animal bone fragments and worked flint in trench 23. A nearby shallow circular pit, 0.65m in diameter and 0.07m deep, containing worked flint, animal bone fragments and a bone awl may have been of late Neolithic to late Bronze Age date. See report for detail (B2).
