Abstract: |
Six trenches were excavated across the area at Wood End, Marston Mortaine, targeting geophysical anomalies. A series of ditches were recorded, all dating to the transitional Iron Age to Romano-British period. The geophysical survey plot indicates that these features were part of enclosures and trackways, the volume of pottery recovered indicates that the site was occupied although no structural remains were noted. In some areas a buried soil horizon survives, truncated by the Romano-British ditches; this suggests that the field is unlikely to have been ploughed since and potential for survival of structural remains is therefore high. A medieval to post-medieval drainage channel serving the (un-investigated) moat was recorded in two of the trenches. Evidence for ridge and furrow cultivation was seen. |
