Abstract: |
The evaluation identified the presence of archaeological features across much of the site, with the exception of the western portion. The ditches identified were most likely from the remains of former field boundaries. The Roman pottery from a large feature in the south-east corner of the site may have dated the other features by association. The prehistoric component of the site was not securely dated. The presence of very early (pre-Flavian) Roman pottery in this area was by no means unusual. The line of the Roman road had been thought to pass along the modern A31. In total, three pits, nine ditches, two gullies and a cremation were identified. [Au(adp)] |
