Abstract: |
Bradwell Trout Farm, The Slades, Cuthedge Lane, Bradwell, (BDTS 13, TL 82399 22206) evaluation trenching, for a single house development, followed by a small scale open area excavation covering 80m2 revealed various features of mid to later Roman date. The features investigated comprised part of a shallow curvilinear ditch with a projected internal diameter of c12m, a small and shallow pit within the ring area and a north-south aligned ditch nearby. Finds were recovered from all the features save the shallow pit and included pottery sherds indicative of domestic type settlement nearby and occasional fragments of tile while carbonised macrofossil ecofacts strongly suggest crop processing with spelt wheat being the main cereal grown. By comparison with more extensively excavated sites of this date in the eastern counties it may be inferred that the curvilinear ditch is likely to have surrounded a roundhouse type structure of mid to later Roman date within a mid to lower status type farmstead. |
