Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations at Home Farm Quarry, Laleham revealed occupation dating to the Neolithic, the earliest Iron Age and the early–middle Anglo-Saxon periods. The earliest feature on the site appears to have been a silted-up palaeochannel (former watercourse), which cannot be dated precisely. A ring ditch, almost entirely devoid of finds, could be Neolithic but its date is, again, uncertain. A small pit that contained Grooved Ware can be more certainly dated to the late Neolithic, and two other pits might have belonged to the same period. The most extensive remains belong to an earliest Iron Age field system that was associated with waterholes and a few pits and postholes. A complete decorated socketed axehead of Sompting type was found in the base of one of the waterholes, below a large deposit of freshly broken pottery. Activity in the early–middle Anglo-Saxon period is represented by only a few features – three pits and possibly a waterhole and a short stretch of ditch – but charred plant remains including free-threshing wheat, likely to be Anglo-Saxon in date, were widely distributed across the site. | |||||||||||
