Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed evidence for substantial Romano-British settlement and agricultural activity within the site. Two enclosures were identified along with pits, gullies, ditches and postholes. The discovery of a sarcophagus burial suggested that the development footprint lay close to or within the focus of a wider area of Romano-British settlement. Evidence for earlier archaeological activity on the site, possibly dating as far back as the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, was attested by a small assemblage of flint artefacts. [Au(adp)] |
