Abstract: |
The earliest finds were two pieces of residual struck flint (Trenches 28 and 31). Roman features were present in the eastern sector of the site - the area which could not be surveyed during the geophysical survey. The dated features were present in Trenches 23, 25 and 31, and these trenches were in close proximity. The features were predominantly ditches; an undated pit (F1074) was present in Trench 31. The pottery assemblages generally consisted of 6 or more sherds: F1117 (6 sherds); F1113 (7); F1012 (9); F1053 (14); F1016 (24) and F1115 (79). Ditch F1053 was in Trench 23 and the other dated features were in Trench 31. The pottery was associated with animal bone and fired clay. The area of Roman features is on the highest and slightly sandier, part of the site. The alignment of undated ditches in the centre of the southern edge of the site (Trench 16) oblique to the post-medieval and modern boundaries, suggest they are of some age; possibly medieval or Roman. The post-medieval / modern field boundary ditches depicted on the 1st edition ordnance survey map (Fig. 14) were detected during the geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation (Trenches 2 - 3 , 10, 13, 15 and 17). The area of the site which was cropped and could not be surveyed (Fig. 3) contained a post-medieval / modern ditch in Trenches 28 - 29, 30 and 32. |
