Abstract: |
220 evaluation trenches revealed a wide range of deposits representing periods from Neolithic to medieval, with flints also suggesting Mesolithic activity. The main features of note include a Bronze Age burnt mound, two clusters of early prehistoric features, a cluster of Roman features, and various undated ditches. The evaluation identified archaeological deposits on the site with larger concentrations evident in the centre and to the south west end of the site and smaller ones elsewhere. These deposits dated from the Late Neolithic, Bronze Age/Iron Age, Roman, Saxon, medieval and post medieval periods. One of the largest clusters, that to the south west is clearly of Roman date, perhaps with occupation spalling the whole of the Roman period. A few other Roman features lay further to the east. The other dense cluster of deposits was not well dated but did include a few possible Late Saxon/Medieval features. Smaller clusters of deposits were of earlier prehistoric date, with some Late Bronze Age/Iron Age deposits to the north east (trenches 68 and 130), Some Neolithic/Bronze Age features to the south (trenches 5, 188, 191), with a small probable ‘burnt mound’ of Bronze Age in trench 118. |
