GGAT Projects were commissioned by Cardiff City Football Club Club’s agents M2h Architects to undertake an archaeological field evaluation. This was to evaluate features identified during the course of an earlier assessment recommended by the archaeological advisors to the Local Planning Authority (GGAT Curatorial).
Cropmarks were identified from aerial photographs and investigated, it was proven to be an archaeological feature; the cropmark was the result of an underlying circular ditch. Material from the ditch was redeposited on the inside of the feature burying the original soil horizon and forming a mound. This feature is likely to be of prehistoric date; the size of the feature suggests it could have been a funerary enclosure; the possibility of a bank on the outside of the ditch raises the possibility of a henge monument.
