Description

Hanson Aggregates commissioned the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust (Projects Division) to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land to the north of the existing quarry, in advance of extension works. Five evaluation trenches were excavated on the previously identified area of archaeological potential within the extension area.
The trenches revealed a number of late post-medieval or modern clearance cairns and areas of bedrock outcropping to the present ground surface. No deposits of archaeological significance were encountered. Four flint artefacts were recovered and retained for specialist analysis. The resulting report outlined that the assemblage was typical of those found in upland environments and probably the result of casual loss rather than representing evidence of settlement or occupation.
