SECTION 2.2.1
CLAYDON PIKE LONGDOLES FIELD: ARCHAEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE LATE IRON AGE TO LATE ROMAN SETTLEMENT

Introduction

An extensive series of cropmarks, spread over an area of approximately 8.75 ha known as Longdoles Field, lay about 100 m south-west of the middle Iron Age settlement in Warrens Field, on the other side of a substantial palaeochannel (Fig. 2.2.1: Trench plan of Longdoles Field ). These cropmarks were targeted for excavation and salvage recording, which revealed evidence for a sequence of occupation dating from the late Iron Age to the medieval period. Most of the archaeological features lay within the main excavation trenches, 13, 17, 19, 27 and 29 (Fig. 2.2.2: Composite plans of main excavation trenches in Londoles Field), which covered an area of about 1.3 ha.
An outline of the phasing for activity within the main excavation trenches in Longdoles Field is presented in Figs. 2.2.3 -2, -3a, -3b, -3c, -3d, -4a, -4b, -4c, -4d: Longdoles Field Settlement: Outline of the main phasing .
