Abstract: |
AArchaeological recording was carried out by Terrain Archaeology during topsoil stripping for two new quarry areas and a haul road, in land to the south of Acton near Langton Matravers, Dorset. Towards the centre of Pond Field, two small truncated pits or scoops of probable Early Neolithic date were found. Both contained burnt material and one also included abraded pottery, flint knapping debris and saddle quern fragments. This may represent occupation debris from a small Early Neolithic settlement. Almost adjacent, was an isolated Romano-British grave containing the skeleton of an adult female in a stone slab cist. The only other feature revealed was a large burnt area associated with a small quantity of medieval pottery in the southwest corner of Blacklands Field. |
