Abstract: |
The results of the trenching revealed a Bronze Age ring-ditch, which had been reused in the Romano-British period, a Bronze Age trackway apparently to a field-system or droveway for animal pens. Extensive remains of a Romano-British farmstead and associated agricultural activity, possibly a vineyard, were also recovered on the western side of the site. A Roman enclosure, which may have had its origins in the Bronze Age, was sampled on the northern side of the site. To the west of this enclosure were further remains of Roman enclosures, and possible structures. A number of cremations were also observed across the site, some of which could assuredly be dated to the Roman period while others were undated. |
