Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed an extensive and well preserved Iron Age site. It was concealed below a layer of wind-blown sand, which had sealed and protected the site form future plough damage. A system of ditches and spreads of charcoal occupation layers indicated a settlement site. The survival of an ancient buried topsoil, with possible evidence of Iron Age ploughing and occupation surfaces made this a significant site with a high potential for a wealth of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental information.
