Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed limited evidence for archaeological activity in the central area of the site, comprising a series of ditches all of which were sampled and some produced pottery of Romano-British date. This area did not appear to contain evidence for settlement on the site; the ditches were likely to represent sub-surface evidence for former boundaries. A trench excavated across an earthwork bank confirmed that it was man-made, but could not provide conclusive evidence for the date of its construction. There did not appear to be an associated ditch, but the bank did seal a buried soil horizon - probably a former land surface- from which fragments of Late Iron Age pottery were recovered. A medieval date for construction was considered most likely. [Au(abr)] |
