Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Gwynedd Archaeological Trust carries out a programme of excavation at Parc Cybi between November 2006 and June 2008 funded by the Welsh Assembly Government in advance of a business park development. The excavations revealed several groups of pits and postholes close to a rectangular structure found in 2007, interpreted as a granary. There were few artefacts recovered but a complex of inter-cutting pots produced significant quantities of prehistoric pottery. Some of the features are believed to be Neolithic but others are potentially later indicating continued use of the site. The remains of a small compact group of Roman buildings was completely excavated and comprised a small rectangular building (5m x 4m internally) and a circular structure (inner diameter 6.5m) which was clay walled a probably contained a furnace. A stone-capped pit was found under the clay floor that was either contemporary with the building or pre-dated it. A variety of timber structures were indicated by multiple postholes, possibly barns or similar structures. Pottery suggests the Roman building complex dates to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD but its origin may have been in the 2nd century. Industrial activity was represented by the furnace but no evidence of metal-working debris was found despite extensive sampling. A terraced trackway through the building complex was continued as a well-preserved double walled trackway with metalled surface and roughly perpendicular ditches may be the remains of an associated field system. Some features associated with a 18th century farm were also recovered. Au/SH | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
