Abstract: |
The Archaeological Strip, Map and Record area measured 0.6ha and was positioned in order to assess archaeological features targeted during the Evaluation by Trial Trenching and highlighted in the results of the Geophysical Survey. A single sub-circular enclosure, located atop of a small natural hillock, was present within the excavation area. The enclosure is likely to have been established during the mid-Iron Age, with activity on the site flourishing during the late Iron Age. A single pit, which had been dug into the enclosure ditch contained Roman period pottery suggesting the enclosure had fallen out of use by the 2nd century AD. The lack of evidence for structures on the site and the arrangement of internal features suggest a largely agricultural function for the site although the quantity of domestic pottery is suggestive of nearby settlement, probably to the south or east of the enclosure The remains of two adult women, who appeared to have been buried in coffins, were recovered from the enclosure ditch. The skeletons are likely to date to Roman period, having been interred following the abandonment of the enclosure. |
