Abstract: |
Following geophysical survey, six trial trenches were excavated prior to the proposed road improvements. The excavation found archaeological remains that correlated with the information from the geophysical survey. The evaluation provided clear evidence of Late Iron Age or Early Romano-British activity related to domestic settlement. The high concentration of iron slag (c.21.4kg from five features) raised some interesting questions as to the status and function of the site. Many of the other features may well provide further evidence of this. Both the geophysical survey and the trial trench evaluations were able to define the main extent of the settlement within the planned route of the road corridor. Features appeared to be sparse or absent in the western part of the site but the settlement clearly extended south-east of the road corridor. Several pits were present to the north-east of the settlement nucleus, but these seemed to be sporadic. [Au(adp)] |
