Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during topsoil stripping across the Phase III clay extraction site. The results included finds of Middle-Late Bronze Age and Middle-Late Iron Age pottery, along with further finds of worked and burnt flint. The only feature was a single ditch passing through the site on a south-west to north-east alignment. This produced a small assemblage of Roman pottery, probably dated to the middle 3rd century AD. Although the results were indicative of a late prehistoric to Roman settlement, the low level of finds and the lack of structural evidence suggested that the extraction site was on the periphery of the main focus of settlement.
