Abstract: |
18 trenches were excavated in advance of the proposed new Community Hospital. A concentration of archaeological features was located in the centre of the site. A number of possible structures were identified, including one with substantial square shaped post holes. Two other clusters of post holes were identified, and were thought to represent additional buildings or possibly stock management features or fence lines. Some spreads of occupation material, pits and numerous enclosure or boundary ditches were also seen. The site was interpreted as a low status farmstead dating to the late 1st-2nd century. A few sherds of Middle Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon pottery was recovered, reflecting activity in these periods. [Au(abr)] |
