Abstract:
Survey and excavations conducted in 2000--02 added to the information gained by earlier fieldwork, revealing stratified remains assignable to the Bronze Age and/or Early to Middle Iron Age. The excavated features relate to major land divisions and enclosures, primarily manifest through the use of wooden palisades on a monumental scale. Remains dating to the Late Iron Age and/or first century AD were present. Remains from the Roman period included enclosure/field boundaries; overall evidence from these and earlier excavations points to domestic and industrial activity during the Roman era, and the 2002 excavations revealed a stone-founded Roman building. Economic and daily processes are suggested by the collected evidence, including iron smithing, grain milling and, potentially, cereal processing. The large majority of Roman pottery consists of coarse grey-wares. The evidence points to a site of some scale and prosperity, with agrarian commercial, and minor industrial elements, analogous to other middle-rank settlements known in the region.
