Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site, which lay within an area which had been the centre of a Roman pottery industry. Four kiln sites had been recorded in the surrounding area, including one which lay close to the proposal site. Palaeolithic and Iron Age artefacts had also been found in the area. Mesolithic flints had been recorded at one site, and Bronze Age implements had been recovered from the River Thames. Saxon settlement had occurred in the area, and a shrunken medieval village lay near the site. During the evaluation, a residual sherd of Roman pottery was recovered and an early Saxon sherd was found within one of three medieval pits. Three post holes were recorded, and the remnants of an earth bank were identified on the north-east side of the site. The bank was likely to have represented an earlier field boundary. [AIP] |
