[SP] 237577. Further air photographs and a magnetometer survey of Site 61 in the series recorded by Webster and Hobley (1964) suggest that two phases of possibly Saxon royal occupation can be recognised in addition to prehistoric or RB features. The site is on elevated ground near a ford of the Avon from which a hollow way leads to the foot of the hill at Hatton Rock. Piecemeal reduction of a large royal estate in this area is attested by documents of 8th century and later. A magnetometer survey added no new evidence, but did allow location of the cropmark features on the ground. From the photographs, the buildings can be separated into two phases on the basis of orientation, each phase having at least three major rectangular buildings comparable to the Yeavering and Cheddar halls. Such a site would be appropriate to the Mercian kingdoms at about the time of Offa. A pipe trench cut through the site in February 1970 yielded pottery and other material consonant with a Saxon date. | |||||||||||
