Abstract: |
A targeted archaeological excavation was undertaken on land to the west of Days Road, Capel St Mary in November and December 2017 after site investigation identified deposits indicative of prehistoric and Roman activity within the site boundary. Three areas were stripped around features located by the evaluation trenching, exposing a single Late Bronze Age post-built roundhouse and dispersed pitting, a small quantity of Iron Age pits and a series of widespread and truncated parallel Roman cultivation ditches. The phases of Bronze Age and Iron Age activity are probably each related to previously recorded contemporary evidence to east and west, and indicate widely dispersed occupation and utilisation of the landscape during these periods. The Roman field ditches, together with similar examples 300m to the south, are almost certainly associated with a villa site to the west at Windmill Hill and are similar to other examples of early Roman cultivation ditches that have been seen in close proximity to villa sites elsewhere within the county. |
