Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out immediately to the north of an excavation of a large Iron Age settlement carried out by the Cotswold Archaeological Trust earlier in the year. Two parallel ditches which formed part of a ditched trackway leading southwards to the settlement were identified, along with ditches belonging to enclosures identified in the earlier excavation. Several pits, one of which contained a human cremation, were also revealed. The information from this excavation supplemented the data gained from the larger excavation to the south. It also indicated that the area east of the track and immediately north of the settlement was relatively unsettled, possibly being used for agricultural purposes. However, the identification of a human cremation also pointed to some ritual activity north of the main settlement. [Au(adp)] |
