Abstract: |
Four trenches were excavated in concordance with geophysical data retrieved in 1994. Significant archaeological remains were discovered. Trench 2 revealed a sub-circular enclosure, around 50m in diameter. Pottery helped to identify this as an Iron Age/Roman round [defended settlement]. Pits and post holes survived inside. Stone artefacts, daub fragments and a quernstone were also recovered. This site was thought to be of National Importance, as preservation was good and potential for further discoveries high. Other prehistoric activity was also inferred from pits, postholes and possible Bronze Age pottery. [Au(abr)] |
