Abstract: |
A series of open area excavations and a watching brief were carried out on a triangle of land which was to be developed. The work was conducted in four stages. The first two comprised the excavation of an Iron Age farmstead and a Roman road. The third and fourth stages comprised further excavation and watching brief. The elements of the landscape investigated included at least two Iron Age and Roman farmsteads, while three other enclosures had features such as pits, post holes and gullies that may have been related to settlement (Areas 2, 12 and 15). Parts of a more extensive field system were also recorded. Other works included two sections through a Roman road, which cut across the site north to south. Beneath the road were a series of earlier underlying plough marks. There was a comparatively large pottery assemblage of both Iron Age and Roman date, which after further study would refine the chronology of settlement and land use and allow comparison with similar sites in the surrounding areas.
