Abstract:
The trenching discovered three discrete settlements or areas of activity where there was a high density of archaeological features, all of which had been identified by the geophysical survey. The first of these was a farmstead covering 5ha in the north of Field E and the south of Field D. The farmstead was constructed in the Middle Iron Age and continued in use until the Early Roman period, although there was little evidence of activity after the 2nd century AD. The second area was a small Early Roman site in the north of Field A. It covered 1ha and consisted of a large pond feature set amongst several small fields. Domestic debris was sparse although there was a significant amount of ceramic building material, particularly Roman roof tile. The third area was part of an Early Roman settlement in the north of Field I, which was approximately 1ha in size and probably extended to the north underneath the housing of King Edgar Close. There were also several areas of scattered archaeology where features were present but not dense or concentrated, as in the parts of the site already described. Early prehistory was represented by an early Neolithic pit and an Early Bronze Age pit in Field H, along with residual worked lithics in several locations. Two north-east to south-west orientated ditches in Field I were dated by pottery to the Middle Bronze Age ditch and may be part of a wider field system. It may be associated with other undated features in the east of Field H and the south of Field I. A cremation was also discovered in the south of Field I, of Early Roman date. Towards the northern end of the site, in the east of Field D, was another area of field system, potentially of Iron Age date. Close by a seemingly isolated inhumation burial was discovered. A concentration of post-medieval features were encountered in Field G (trenches 111 and 112), which correlate with the location of a building visible on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1888.
