Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a new rugby clubhouse. The western part of the site was occupied by a 2nd-5th century Roman villa, constructed over the remains of a Bronze Age farmstead. Geophysical survey of the site identified a series of intercutting features, initially interpreted as a possible Iron Age roundhouse with associated field boundaries. Trial trenching revealed that the circular feature was most likely to represent the corner of a field system, and that the remaining features were also field boundary ditches, which could be broadly dated to the Roman period. It was concluded that the site had undergone a number of radical boundary changes within a relatively short period of time. Watching briefs during groundworks and full excavation of areas of deep soil stripping were recommended. [Au(adp)] |
