Abstract: |
Thirty-seven test pits and 10 trenches were excavated. The trenches were targeted over features identified by geophysical survey and away from services (Masters 2008). All the Roman features, comprising post holes, ditches and pits, were found within three trenches on the extreme southern side of the development. The settlement was on a plateau at the top of a small knoll at 15.90m AOD within an area c.60m by 50m. There were three phases of activity recovered dating from the 1st century AD to the early/middle 2nd century. Although only a small part of the Late Iron Age and Roman settlement was within the development area, these remains should be considered of regional importance. |
