Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Investigation prior to the construction of the bypass revealed features relating to various periods of activity. Pits were identified at several locations containing prehistoric pottery, while the northern and western perimeters of a Roman temporary camp were examined. The foundations of an Iron Age timber structure c. ten metres in diameter were excavated. Extensive excavation around the western entrance of the Roman temporary camp located a concentration of features including a spread of pits containing Neolithic pottery and chipped stone, four later prehistoric structures and Roman/Early Historic field ovens. Twenty-five Neolithic to Early Romano-British radiocarbon dates are reported. Includes separately authored reports on:In which studies a course rim sherd and reports that the visible vitreous residue contained high amounts of copper, lead and tin with a trace of nickel, confirming the identification as a crucible fragmentWherein 633 pieces of chipped stone are documented. Suggests a date of production in the Neolithic or possibly Early Bronze Age. Includes a catalogue of significant pieces | ||||||||||||||||||||||
