Abstract: |
Archaeological trial trenching was carried out by MOLA across 218ha of arable farmland to inform a planning application. The trenches largely targeted anomalies detected in an earlier geophysical survey (Walford 2015) which identified six potential areas of archaeological interest (Sites A to F). A total of 146 trenches were excavated, with archaeological remains comprising ditches, pits and furrows present in 106 of the trenches. The trial trenching confirmed the results of the geophysical survey with regards to Sites B (Roman enclosures), C (Bronze Age pit and Roman enclosures), D (Roman settlement) and F (Iron Age enclosure). Following the abandonment of the Roman settlement and enclosures, the land was under cultivation from at least the medieval period onwards. Site A was not investigated in this phase of works. |
