Abstract: |
WHR 072. A small area excavation of c.0.73 hectares revealed a series of ditches and other features dating from the Middle Iron Age to the Early Roman period. Occasional earlier finds and features were also encountered. A Middle Iron Age ditch was near to a small concentration of pits and post-holes, some of which could be dated to this period. The ditch was cut by a rectilinear enclosure ditch partly revealed within the excavation area. The enclosure had an opposed butt-end entranceway along its eastern edge. This feature was dated by pottery to the Late Iron Age / Early Roman period. Of a similar period and within the enclosure, a four-post structure was recognised. A cremation burial was recovered cutting the fill of the enclosure ditch. A Roman ditch containing pottery dated to before the middle of the 2nd century AD was on a similar alignment to the enclosure. A Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age pit containing Beaker pottery with all-over cord and crowsfoot finger nail impressions was also revealed. A scatter of flint tools and flakes (mainly from unstratified or later contexts) point to a widespread utilisation of this area in the later prehistoric period. The flint assemblage contains a sizeable proportion of struck blade elements, generally associated with the Early Neolithic. |
