| Abstract: |
Report of the survey, sampling and limited excavation of a multi-period settlement site, focussing on the substantial evidence from the Late Iron Age and Roman periods. Material collected informally at the site prior to the survey is also incorporated. Features included the remains of a substantial Roman aisled stone building; pits containing Iron Age wares; post-holes, and several boundary ditches. Charred cereal grains and waste were present in environmental samples but not in any large quantity; however the remains of wetland plants and freshwater molluscs indicated the presence of standing water in the area. Pollen samples indicated grassland and open ground, but there was no evidence of arable activity. Although cow, sheep and a small quantity of pig bones were found, most bone was unattributable to a firmly dated context. The site's significance in relation to that of Stonea nearby; Icenian and other Late Iron Age influences; possible military or trade connections during the early Roman period; and its place in the Roman landscape are considered.
