Title: Plan of mitigation area at Cubbington Wood. Filename: 215958_archive Description: Between September 2019 and February 2020 Wessex Archaeology undertook an archaeological mitigation excavation at South Cubbington Wood in Warwickshire. There is some indication of a low level of activity on the site in the Middle Iron Age, but the bulk of the excavated features represent the remains of a rural settlement dated from ceramic evidence to AD 25-100. In its 1st-century AD heyday, the settlement appears to have been unenclosed and was defined by penannular ditches, various lengths of ditch and gully (some forming small enclosures, others more discrete in nature) and a scatter of pits, postholes etc. Three features contained small quantities of cremated human bone, with one of the penannular ditches returning unburnt human skull fragments. The ancient inhabitants of the site appear to have engaged in mixed agriculture: cereal remains and quernstones suggests arable cultivation nearby, and animal bones indicate a self-sufficient, producer-consumer economy, with animals (chiefly cattle, with sheep/goat) slaughtered and butchered nearby, with the meat consumed locally. The majority of environmental the samples have provided poor results, mostly comprising scattered cereal grains, which are consistent with residual material from a settlement site where plant processing activities took place. |
