Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Numerous findspots of Romano-British pottery had been recorded in fields immediately to the north and west. These finds were assumed to reflect salt-panning activities, an industry well attested along the line of the Huntspill River. Constructed during the Second World War, the river had cut through a number of mounds connected with either salt extraction or pottery production. Many more mounds had been recorded in the area. During the evaluation, a buried land surface and horizons were noted in all of the trenches. These could be dated by occasional pottery finds to the mid-Roman period. Fragments of briquetage and baked clay recovered from the Romano-British horizons probably represented debris connected with salt extraction. A flint flake, possibly of Neolithic or Bronze Age date, was also recovered [AIP] |
