Abstract:
A fieldwalking programme was undertaken in concert with a geophysical survey as part of an evaluation in advance of construction of a new motorway. The programme of work was based upon the results of a desk-based assessment. Ten fields were walked, and the presence of one previously known site of possible prehistoric date was confirmed. Four further probable prehistoric sites, and a previously unknown major Roman site were located. Pottery recovered suggested that the Roman site dated to the late 1st century AD, and geophysical survey showed the site to be a fort. [Au(abr)]
