Description
Twenty-three Archaeological Evaluation Trenches were excavated at Land north of Avon Drive, Huntington, from November 30th to December 10th 2015. The work was undertaken as a
response to an Outline Planning Application for residential development.
Archaeological deposits were excavated in five of the trenches consisting of linear features of Romano-British date, along with a more recent feature that had been identified by geophysical survey.
(The linear feature excavated in Trench 5 was seen to extend northwards into Trench 3, but was not excavated there due to flooding.)
A modest assemblage of Romano-British and medieval pottery was recovered, along with a small number of animal bone fragments.
