Abstract: |
Archaeological excavations and a documentary search was undertaken within an area of land that was thought to contain, and be in the vicinity of, the remains of: a Roman walled cemetery, Roman buildings, a Roman road and Iron Age earthworks. Several evaluation trenches were excavated which located the remains of post-medieval activity on the site. More significant was the discovery of Iron Age features and finds which suggested the presence of settlement activity from this period which was previously unknown. Scatters of Roman artefacts also suggested settlement activity within the site. No trace of the Roman road was found. [AIP] |
