Abstract: |
Two phases of detailed archaeological investigation were undertaken following the discovery of the cemetery during a watching brief on cable diversion. The fieldwork revealed a previously unknown Roman cemetery dating from the late 1st to the mid 3rd century AD. The later prehistoric period was represented by a small number of pits of possible Iron Age date and a linear ditch that contained a large quantity of burnt flint. The cemetery comprised 326 inhumations and 235 cremations and was bounded to the south-east by a hollow way and to the north-west by a slot/fenceline. The remaining boundaries comprised a series of linear ditches. In addition, a small number of other features were revealed. These included pits containing dumps of pyre debris, a possible ritual shaft or well and a cobbled surface of uncertain function. There was also evidence for in situ burning of cremations.
