Report on the excavation of a roundhouse and related structures dated by 14C to the first-second century AD. Internal details and building repairs allow some assessment of the structure of the building.

1 Summary
1
Report on the excavation of a roundhouse and related structures dated by 14C to the first-second century AD. Internal details and building repairs allow some assessment of the structure of the building. The site also provides a well-dated context for a Guido class 13 glass bead, a type more common in isolated finds.
2 The site
2 - 3
This section presents details of site location and the circumstances behind the archaeological work.
3 The excavation
4 - 10
A description of the methodology is followed by an archaeological description of the roundhouse, two hearths or ovens and a four-post structure. Stratigraphic relationships across the site were destroyed by ploughing and drainage systems.
4 Dating
11
A discussion of the four radiocarbon dates.
5 The finds
12 - 15
Specialist reports on flint, a glass bead and a crucible.
6 Discussion
16
The presence of the bead and the crucible with its implications of bronze working on the site suggest that in the 1st-2nd centuries AD the site was either part of a settlement of some standing, or perhaps related to, or peripheral to a high-status settlement.
