Abstract: |
A small excavation was undertaken in advance of the redevelopment of building 1155. The site lay 300m north-west of Caudle Head mere, a natural spring previously identified as the focal point for an extensive Late Iron Age to late Roman settlement. Activity identified on this excavation dated to the Late Iron Age and early Roman period and was concentrated at the northern end of the site. The evidence from the work seemed to suggest that this site represented a small, early area of activity either predating or contemporary with the earliest phases of the main settlement. There appeared to be an absence of settlement between this site and the main area and limited excavation work (service trench monitoring etc) in this gap indicated that this may have been wet or marshy in the past. The features uncovered comprised ditches, gullies and pits and the whole site was overlain by gleyed and windblown sands. [Au] |
