Abstract:		 An open area excavation in April 2016 revealed a comparatively dense scatter of pits and other features, many belonging to the Iron Age and representing nearby occupation during this period. Also found was a linear arrangement of ditches and several pits of the Roman period, a late Saxon pit and a ditch of medieval or later date. Of particular interest was a large east to west boundary ditch of Iron Age date containing many fragments of fine handmade black burnished pottery, animal bone and pieces of fired clay. At the western terminal end an interesting group of loomweights was recovered including a complete triangular example. The pottery suggests a date range from the Middle Iron Age to the Late Iron Age/early Roman period (4th century BC to 1st century AD). The densest concentration of Iron Age pits was in the vicinity of the large ditch terminal. In one of these pits part of an articulated skeleton of an adult female individual was found, consisting of the torso and skull but without limbs. Finding partly articulated bodies could be evidence that a form of exposure of the dead was taking place during this period.
