Abstract: |
Twenty-five of the sixty-seven trenches excavated produced archaeological evidence. Of the eighty features recorded, some were elements of the same landscape features. Seven feature types were observed of which 80% were ditches or gullies with a small number of other features also recorded. There was a broadly linear pattern to the activity from the north-west corner to the south-east corner of the Development Area, with activity rapidly tailing off to the north-east and the south-west of this line. The fills of the majority of features showed little modification to the natural sands indicating a general absence of intense occupation with isolated instances of increased activity. The small finds assemblage indicates that these features are likely to represent part of a relatively small scale late Iron Age to early Romano-British rural farmstead. Following the Romano-British period the site reverted to heathland till the late 19th or early 20th century when it was taken into cultivation. |
