| Abstract: |
The excavation of an irregular shaped trench revealed evidence dating from the Late Bonze Age, Iron Age, Roman and medieval periods. The main features were two large parallel ditches, which ran, 5m apart, for over 25m. They were thought to be contemporary, with pottery finds suggesting that they could have dated to the Late Bronze Age, but were probably long-standing features either serving a defensive function or marking a major landscape division. Three shallow pits and post holes were dated to the Late Bronze Age and backed up the theory of settlement, which appeared to have continued into the Middle and Late Iron Age. A few abraded Roman and medieval pottery sherds were recovered and it was probable that these were deposited as a result of manuring and ploughing. A post-medieval property boundary ditch was identified, which contained 16th and 18th century finds. A 17th-18th century building and several 19th century brick foundations were revealed. Three small post-holes with post-medieval fills were recorded, probably reflecting backyard activity associated. [Au(adp)] |
