Abstract: |
<summary>Open-area excavation on the proposed site for a silt lagoon revealed a wide range of archaeological features of Romano-British date. These included rectangular beam slots, deep ditches and numerous post holes and pits suggestive of a number of substantial timber structures. Taken together, evidence of domestic metal-working and sheep/goat-rearing, the pottery assemblage evidence, and the presence on the site of coins and brooches, appeared to indicate a small, settled Romano-British community. A cemetery was also revealed; it contained at least six graves, although only one of these was fully excavated and recorded. {italon}AIP{italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} ASMR8332 |
