Abstract: |
The geophysical survey identified three enclosures, possible pits, and substantial areas of disturbance. The trial trenching targeted the areas of archaeology as well as 'blank' zones. The ditches of three Roman enclosures have been identified, as well as two pits with burnt stone, one of which had a quantity of charred grains. The Roman pottery recovered was of mid/late 1st century to late 2nd century date. Small scale quarrying truncated the enclosures, and is suspected to be of Roman date. Remnants of post-medieval field boundaries, corresponding with fields shown on historic maps, were also found. Large industrial-scale ironstone quarrying took place in the post-medieval/modern period. The works, including a tramway, are shown on 19th-century historic maps. The remains of the infilled pit and the tramway were located in the northern part of the site. |
