Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological work was carried out in August and October 2016 at Middle Brook House, Mickleton Road, Ilmington, Warwickshire in advance of the construction of a detached dwelling on the site. Excavations revealed a series of cut features interpreted as structures, pits and ditches indicative of early settlement. The evidence suggests that this activity occurred throughout the 3rd century AD, probably in phases, and appearing to have been abandoned by the 4th century, or shifted away. The features are closely concentrated within a small area and appear to reflect the nucleus of a small farmstead or group of low status buildings possibly connected to a larger villa complex. Until now evidence of Roman occupation at Ilmington has been based on stray pottery finds found either side of Middle Street and a substantial settlement at Windmill Hill which appears to have originated in the Late Iron Age continuing into the 3rd century AD. The excavations at Middlebrook House have shown that Roman settlement was also established at the north end of the village during the 3rd century, possibly as part of a small farmstead or a range of structures and enclosures connected to a nearby villa complex where the main buildings are situated. |
