Abstract: |
A limited archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site ahead of the proposed construction of a reservoir. Twenty trenches were machine excavated within the area. Archaeological features were observed to survive in all the trenches. Pottery was recovered from 16 of the trenches and was dated as Middle to Late Iron Age. Animal bone was present in all except one trench and small quantities of worked flint, burnt daub and metalwork was recovered from several of the trenches. The features present included roundhouse gullies, pits and rectilinear ditch systems which strongly suggested the presence of settlement. Ditches and gullies were on two alignments suggesting at least two phases of occupation and supported the evidence of the finds. [Au] |
