Abstract: |
Extensive evidence for archaeological activity revealed features including pits, ditches, post holes and graves, with four different periods represented. Early Iron Age activity was identified within cut features towards the southern end of the site. Middle to Late Iron Age activity represented the most extensive settlement on the site, with evidence for finds and features of this period. Romano-British activity comprised two distinct elements; first what appeared to be funerary evidence in the northern portion of the site; and secondly, structural components close by. Two stone structures were likely to represent post-pads, or more likely, wall remnants. The final phase of activity was medieval. Evidence for this period was represented by a cut feature - possibly a ditch - of late 13th century date. [AIP] |
