| Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological recording and post-excavation work on an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Channel 4's 'Time Team' was carried out. Trenches were targeted on a number of potential archaeological features identified by a previous geophysical survey (2003). The evaluation revealed that the extensive archaeological remains on the site belonged to several different phases of activity. The earliest of these appeared to date to the Iron Age. Although the sherds of pottery recovered from these features were very similar to sherds of Saxon pottery, there was some evidence to support an Iron Age attribution. Small quantities of unsratified Roman pottery suggested that there was some Roman activity in the vicinity. The main phase of activity identified in the evaluation related to Saxo-Norman and medieval activity. It was likely that many of the features identified in the previous geophysical survey related to the phase of settlement. Evidence from this phase took the form of boundary ditches, possible trackways, ovens/kilns and also structures, whilst the material recovered included pottery, animal bones, fine whetstones, a lead vessel and iron tripod, as well as slag from iron smelting and smithing. This substantial settlement was not recorded in the Domesday Book and appeared to have been abandoned in the 13th century. After abandonment, the site was likely to have become open fields until the enclosure of the land in the post-medieval period. [Au(adp)] |
