Abstract: |
A scheme of archaeological works was carried out prior to the creation of a golf course. Fieldwalking was undertaken within an area where Roman artefacts had been found, and a geophysical survey was carried out. Trial trenching identified two areas of archaeological interest. Within Area A, pits, ditches and post holes of Roman date were recorded. Artefacts included pottery, two coins, three bone pins, brick and tile fragments and objects of iron and copper alloy. Within Area B a variety of features were revealed, many of which lay within an enclosure ditch. Gullies, pits, post holes, two possible hearths and a small stone structure of uncertain function were recorded. Finds indicated that some features were of the 1st-2nd centuries AD, whilst others appeared to date from the 3rd-4th centuries. The pottery assemblage was concluded to be of importance, as a relatively large number of closely dated groups were present which covered the transition from the Late Iron Age to the Early Roman period.
