Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken in response to outline planning permission for the Stratton Residential Development Area. One flint artefact was recovered. The first settlement was established during the early Saxon period. These typically comprised a sunken feature building and water pit. The Stratton area was slightly unusual in containing evidence that earlier Saxon settlement continued into the later Saxon period in the same locality. Although no direct settlement evidence for this period was recovered, a number of boundaries of this date located in adjacent investigation areas continued into the study area. During the medieval period much of the northern part of the site was utilised as arable fields with the settlement located to the south near Dunton Lane. A major boundary identified at the north of the site may have been in use throughout the medieval period. Some later medieval/post-medieval settlement activity was indicated by the location of small pits and post holes. [Au(abr)] |
