| Abstract: |
The evaluation, consisting of the excavation of three trial trenches, proved that the 'bank' investigated was of recent origin securely sealing material of 20th century date including a cartridge case cap. Within this same layer were residual finds of Mesolithic/earlier Neolithic date, Late Bronze Age or Iron Age date, and the Romano-British period. Three features were found cutting into the top of the natural within an area of 1.5m x 1.2m. These were undated. However, they were unlikely to have been of medieval date as they were extended to the moat. Similarly given the nature of the finds from them (small fragments of bone) and the closeness and intercutting nature of them they were unlikely to have been of Mesolithic/earlier date. Given the finds from other periods, the features were likely to have been of Late Bronze Age/Iron Age or Romano-British date. [Au(abr)] |
