Abstract: |
<summary>A watching brief and salvage recording were undertaken on the site of a Romano-British farmstead enclosure. The site was revealed during construction of a new water-main on behalf of Severn Trent Water, running from Trimpley to Blackstone in the north of the county. A ditch punctuated by a narrow entrance formed the south side of an enclosure of which parts of the east and west sides were also recorded. Within the enclosure, close to the ditch and to the east of the entrance, two ovens were excavated; charred cereal remains within these suggested that they may have had a dual function, being used for corn drying and parching as well as for baking bread. Associated with these deposits was a significant group of pottery which suggested that the site dated to the later 3rd or early 4th century. The narrow date range of the site and the absence of complex deposits indicates that occupation was probably short-lived. {italon}Au(?abr){italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM15300 |
