Abstract: |
Prehistoric activity was represented by a single grave, as well as linear boundaries. The grave contained a probable Prehistoric crouched inhumation and possibly part of a further burial. Numerous linear pit and posthole alignments, as well as related ditches, probably dated to the later Bronze Age - Iron Age. They were present on multiple alignments and there was evidence that at least some of them had been reinstated or modified on at least one occasion. These features are directly comparable to previously recorded later Bronze Age - Iron Age boundaries, which were present in the vicinity of the site. At least one, or possibly two probable agricultural ditches were later than the Prehistoric boundaries and possibly dated to the Roman period; although the dating of these features remained tentative. Evidence for Saxon settlement within the site was present in the form of two Sunken Featured Buildings, which were associated with a small number of pits and postholes. Although presently only datable to the Early to Middle Saxon period, the settlement activity is probably related to the nearby Butler's Field Anglo-Saxon cemetery and possibly represents a continuation of Saxon settlement recorded at Sherborne House, to the southwest of the site. Post Saxon activity was limited to a single Medieval/Post-medieval furrow base, as well as dispersed Modern postholes and services. |
