Abstract: |
Work consisted of monitoring the cutting of footing trenches for a new cell block extension and examining and recording any archaeological features found. A series of pits or ditches were exposed and excavated, producing prehistoric pottery dating either to the Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze or Early Iron Age. One of the pits was capped by an early 19th century bottle dump. A post-medieval post hole was also excavated. The prehistoric features were considered likely to form part of a large Early - Late Iron Age - Belgic - Romano-British settlement site occupying the hilltop, originally perhaps a promontory fort. Similar remains had been found nearby in the past. [Au(adp)] |
