Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out at the proposed site of a reservoir, where an earlier evaluation had revealed part of a Late Iron Age enclosure and a group of chalk extraction pits which were probably of post-medieval or later date. In the surrounding area, several flint scatters, Bronze Age round barrows and the line of a prehistoric trackway had been recorded, whilst a site formerly proposed for the new reservoir had been investigated and found to contain a probable Neolithic mortuary enclosure and a possible ring ditch. During the excavation, a complex series of linear and curvilinear features within the enclosed area was revealed. A human burial, the first positively identified Iron Age inhumation burial in the county, was also found. Domestic occupation of the site, probably a small farmstead, had occurred over a relatively short span of time in the Late Iron Age, probably encompassing the Roman invasion of 43AD, shortly after which the site had been abandoned.
