Abstract:		 TQ 655778. Excavation and observation in advance of gravel extraction revealed EIA domestic occupation followed by an enclosure connected to a droveway leading to the north. The major feature examined was a sub-rectangular defensive enclosure of mid-1st century date; shortly afterwards, pottery kilns were established in the partially filled ditch. Saxon occupation was represented by a single sunken hut. The finds are described, three groups of particular significance -salt-making remains, curvilinear pottery, and pre-Conquest amphorae - being discussed in more detail. The importance of ancient features in determining present-day topography is also stressed. Au(abr)
