Abstract: |
A field evaluation was carried out as part of a programme of archaeological work, this report documented the evaluation of Area B. A wheel rutted trackway of possible medieval date was found to cross the site on an east-west alignment. A substantial boundary ditch of Iron Age or later date ran along the dry valley bottom. In the valley bottom itself a probable Late Iron Age roundhouse was found, together with one or more postholes of Middle Bronze Age date. Two undated isolated postholes were also found which may have been indicative of further activity along the valley axis. A dense undated spread of burnt flint in the bottom of the dry valley may have suggested the presence of some sort of large-scale or prolonged activity just outside the site to the west. This may have represented a 'burnt mound'; although there was no evidence of the running water source which would normally have been associated with such a feature. [Au(adp)] |
