Abstract: |
Following an initial appraisal which indicated that late Bronze Age/Iron Age remains had been discovered immediately west of the site in 1956 and 1960, a field evaluation was undertaken. A geophysical survey indicated that an extensive system of archaeological anomalies lay within the site. Trial excavation revealed that these features related to an early Iron Age settlement, a later Romano-British settlement, and an articulated series of fields and trackways probably relating to both sites. Such sites are comparatively rare in the region and very few have been excavated. Samples showed that these sites, both comparatively rare and and unexplored types in the region, both had good environmental preservation. [Au(abr)] |
