Abstract: |
Seven evaluation trenches were excavated to the north and west of the school buildings. At the north end of the site a palaeo channel was limited by a partly man made bank to its south. Below the bank, adjacent to the channel, were a number of ditches and pits. More archaeological deposits and features and evidence of a Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age buried landscape were recorded to the south of the bank, where a possible relict land surface produced much late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age pottery. Two parallel north - south ditches of a Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age enclosure were recorded at the west side of the site. A clean, silty flood deposit overlay the enclosure and parts of the relict land surface. Quantities of ceramic bars were found in the ditches and on top of the land surface, possibly indicative of the site of a kiln nearby. |
