Abstract: |
<summary>Following an inconclusive evaluation, and the earlier discovery in 1955 and 1959 of a Roman cemetery, an excavation and a watching brief were undertaken on the site in advance of housing redevelopment. Both of these latter investigations revealed a similar spread of features, predominantly post holes falling into two groups: large cuts for substantial vertical timbers, and smaller cuts for less substantial upright posts. It was not possible to identify any buildings within the area of excavation. Some cultural material was recovered, including struck flints, daub and potsherds, the latter being provisionally dated to the Late Iron Age or early Roman period. The area excavated appears to represent part of an IA/RB settlement site. However, some of the features found may actually date to the Anglo-Saxon period. {italon}AIP{italoff} |
