Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in April and May 2016 at land north of Gateford, Worksop, Nottinghamshire. An area of 1 ha was excavated across the development area. Excavations revealed a sequence of Late Iron Age to Late Roman enclosures, which were situated within a system of contemporary 'brickwork' fields encountered during trial trenching (CA 2016b). The site appears to have been first occupied during the Late Iron Age to Early Roman Period, with a group of heavily truncated ditches possibly indicating a settlement very similar to the one present during later stages of the sequence. A second phase of LIA-ER activity consisted of two parallel trackway ditches defining access to a pair of sub-square enclosures. Within the eastern enclosure a rectangular structure was constructed at some point during the mid-1st early 2nd century AD. Extensive re-modelling representing three more stratigraphic phases during the 2nd to 4th centuries AD saw the addition of an additional two enclosures to the north, and the enlargement of the original 1st to 2nd century AD enclosures. |
