Abstract: |
Four areas to the south of Chert Road were machine-stripped and the exposed archaeological features excavated. The earliest features dated to from the Late Iron Age and early Roman period. They included two large sunken hearth-like features, both with associated post holes. To the south of these Late Iron Age or early Roman features lay a ditch (provisionally of the same date). Due to the position of a large land-drain the western extent of this ditch could not be determined. To the south of this ditch five small features of Late Iron Age or early Roman date were revealed in a cluster. At least one of these may have been a severely truncated cremation burial. Activity of medieval date was primarily confined to the western end of Area A. In this period a ditch running north-west to south-east was partially infilled to allow access to a stone-paved track running south in the general direction of the large pond and Willowbed Farm. In the post-medieval period eight animal burials were excavated. These features appeared to respect an area of roots within the brickearth, possibly part of a former hedge-line. [Au(abr)] |
