Abstract: |
The excavation revealed four phases of activity. The earliest comprised a post-built roundhouse of Late Bronze Age date with a radiocarbon determination of 926-814 cal BC followed by an Early Iron Age pit with a date of 592-409 cal BC. The Middle Iron Age was represented by a ring gully complex associated with iron production. The chronology of this activity is supported by two radiocarbon dates of 360-163 cal BC and 359-175 cal BC. The final phase was represented by Roman ditches and gullies considered to form part of a field system. The presence of small scale Middle Iron Age iron production is now a recurrent component of Iron Age settlement of the tertiary geological outcrops south of Reading. |
