Abstract: |
A structured programme of archaeological investigations was conducted in advance of two large-scale development projects. Little conclusive evidence was found for human activity on the site before the second half of the Roman period and the vast majority of the features and deposits encountered appeared to derive from the fourth century AD. During the Roman period a cobbled roadway was laid, and this preceded the digging of an extensive series of ditch-defined enclosures in the area during the fourth century AD. A vast pit, sunk within the enclosure complex, also appeared to have been backfilled during the fourth century AD, although its form was highly suggestive of a type of 'sunken-featured building' typically associated with early Anglo-Saxon settlement. Later occupation horizons may have been truncated in the early twentieth century when the area was landscaped to be transformed into the airfield of R.A.F Catterick. [Au] |
