Abstract:
A Romano-British farmstead covering 0.4ha was excavated on farmland near Thurnscoe, South Yorkshire, in advance of residential development. The site consisted of a sequence of ditched rectilinear enclosures linked to trackway and field system elements. A large T-shaped corn drying oven had been constructed outside the main enclosures. Possible burials were dispersed around the periphery of the enclosures, but in the final phase a small formalised cemetery appeared to have been established within one of them. Occupation of the site probably commenced in the mid-second century and ended by the mid-fourth century AD. Evidence was recovered which demonstrated that as well as coal, the inhabitants exploited both heathland and coppiced timber for fuel. There was some evidence for iron-smithing and a high quality snaffle bit was recovered from an enclosure ditch terminal where it had probably been placed as a structured deposit. Includes
