Abstract: |
The site lies on the southern edge of the village, occupying Muster Hill and the surrounding slopes north of Woodcote Hall. Geophysical survey of the site identified a disperse collection of linear and discrete anomalies, including a potential enclosure towards the top of Muster Hill. Trenches were positioned to investigate these anomalies and the magnetically quiet areas across the site for their archaeological potential. The majority of the linear features can be identified as former field boundaries on historic OS mapping, and a quarry / gravel pit backfilled in the mid 20th century. The presence of the enclosure on Muster hill was confirmed, however could only be tentatively dated to the Romano-British period based on small quantities of pottery from the topsoil around the trenches and environmental evidence. |
