Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a chicken shed. The site of a Roman villa lay within c. 50m of the proposed development, and features had been found nearby during earlier fieldwork which may have indicated Roman ironworking. During the evaluation, a substantial post hole containing 2nd century AD pottery, animal bone and tap slag was recorded. This feature was cut by a later gully, where the limestone bedrock was burnt or stained, perhaps as a result of iron panning and ore extraction processes. Irregularly-shaped 3rd-4th century pits and gullies may have represented mining activity. Occasional post-medieval clay pipe and pottery fragments were noted. [AIP] |
