Abstract:
Excavations within the study area revealed important evidence of settlement and burial in the Late Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, and added significantly to the knowledge of prehistoric land use in that stretch of the valley. Excavations focussed upon a circular single-ditched enclosure identified from air photographs. Cremations pits dating to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age were revealed as well as lithic and pottery assemblages from those periods. Further excavations also revealed evidence of extensive Late Iron Age/Romano-British settlement activity demonstrated by the presence of numerous post-holes, ditches and gullies containing associated sherds of Late Iron Age pottery.
