Abstract: |
Twenty-two trenches were excavated, many of them produced ancient remains. The majority of the features discovered were ditches and were probably field system features located away from areas of settlement activity, as few of the ditches produced finds in significant quantities. A cremation burial was also most likely to lie away from the settlement with which it was contemporary. The remaining features consisted of two shallow pits and a water hole, all of which were sampled and found to contain few finds. Where these features were discovered, additional trial trenches dug in the immediate vicinity produced little or no further information. The finds recovered had not been washed and/or examined by a specialist at the time of writing this report, but experience elsewhere within the Home Farm site suggested that the prehistoric material recovered was of Middle or Late Bronze Age date.
