Abstract:		 An excavation was carried out at a site which lay to the north of a Roman settlement and an Iron Age settlement. A previous evaluation had revealed two Iron Age ditches containing burnt flint, bone and a sherd of Iron Age pottery. During the excavation, further Iron Age and early Roman features were discovered, including ditches, post holes, pits and a hearth. A crouched inhumation, probably of Iron Age date, was recorded, and fragments of a human cranium were recovered from a pit. The remains of a young horse, which may have died or been killed due to a bone infection, were found in a pit, in association with the butchered jaw of a dog. Pottery recovered suggested that the site had probably continued in use until the 2nd century AD. [AIP]
