Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation of a Late Iron Age and Romano-British rural site dating to the first-fifth centuries AD. The earliest phase consisted of a small farmstead, with evidence of at least one roundhouse, within a system of large rectilinear enclosures and fields laid out around the middle of the first century AD. Domestic occupation of the farmstead was short-lived, ceasing in the early second century, although the enclosures/fields may have continued in use into the fourth century. Artefactual and ecofactual evidence suggests the occupants were relatively impoverished, and practised a regime of mixed subsistence farming. The abandonment of the farmstead may be linked to population movements noted elsewhere on the gravel terraces of the Thames in the Roman period. In the late fourth or early fifth century, the surviving elements of the field system were replaced by a series of smaller rectangular enclosures, interpreted as livestock enclosures. One of these contained a small structure and a well, and it is thought that this resumption of activity might have been linked to the management or movement of livestock grazing on the coastal wetlands. Occupation of the site appears to have ceased by the mid-fifth century, with a single Saxon feature and little medieval or later activity. Includes reports on: | |||||||||||||||||
