| Abstract: |
Exposure of a larger area during this operation (6630msq) has allowed a much fuller understanding of the nature and layout of the settlement. A large number of features (238 at the time of writing), including ditches, post-holes, pits and pit complexes were mapped and definite patterns began to emerge. Other than ditches the western 80 metres was largely devoid of features. A large area, up to 20 metres wide, demarcated by a dark grey soil probably represented a large pit complex, an industrial compex associated with the quarrying of natural brickearth. A considerable number of post holes also existed across the centre and the east end of the assessment area. Two definite structures, each consisting of 'four posters' have been established and were interpreted as small granaries of Iron Age date. Fence lines of Iron Age and Roman date were also identified.[Au(abr)] |
