Newgate Street, Doddington Pocket Park: An Archaeological Desktop Study and Measured Site Survey

A proposed development located to the east of Newgate Street in a triangular piece of land adjacent to the County Farms Pocket Park at Doddington, lies within an area of potentially rich archaeological remains. There are remains of Neolithic/Bronze Age and Roman periods in the vicinity, although these are not known from the site itself. The field contains well preserved medieval ridge and furrow maintained under pasture which extends into part of the development area. The site is likely to have been part of a medieval field, although earlier remains may be present.
