Intertidal exposures at Rumney Great Wharf on the shores of Wentlooge Level reveal evidence for three Final Bronze Age occupations embedded in the estuarine silts and peats of the Wentlooge Formation. Rumney Great Wharf 1, situated on the banks of a contemporaneous tidal creek, is a substantial deposit of occupation debris accompanied by some evidence for a shelter. Rumney Great Wharf 2 is a hearth and a spread of pottery and fire-fractured stones; also present is a small, incised ball of fired clay, possibly intended as a sling-shot. Rumney Great Wharf 3 is a small roundhouse associated with a variety of occupation debris. Near Rumney Great Wharf 2 is a fourth site, a silt-filled palaeochannel into which pottery seems to have been discarded. These four occurrences bring to a total of twelve the number of Bronze Age sites described from the Wentlooge Level and the Caldicot Level (Gwent Levels). Planks from sewn boats occur at two of these sites, pointing to the importance of water transport in the coastal wetland landscape dissected by tidal creeks. | ||||||||
