Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Three settlements were excavated in the valleys of the rivers Kennet and Pang. The earliest site, occupied during the first and second centuries AD, formed part of a much larger crop mark complex located in the Kennet Valley. The evidence for settlement was associated with a series of small fields or garden plots. These were defined by ditches, which had been re-cut or replaced on several occasions, during a relatively short space of time between c. AD 50 and 100. The final phase of boundary redefinition was associated with the cremated remains of a neo-natal infant, placed in a colander. An alternating sequence of occupation and cultivation within different areas seems likely, but cannot be demonstrated unequivocally. The other two settlements were occupied over a relatively short period between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries AD. Both sites were located adjacent to lanes, and indeed, the Kennet Valley settlement seems to have been aligned on an early trackway running parallel to the modern road. The site was fairly long, extending over at least 145m, but as it was not possible to reconstruct any buildings in plan, its precise character remains enigmatic. Rather more information was recovered from the medieval settlement in the valley of the River Pang. This may have been a small hamlet, forming a satellite settlement of Bradfield which lies only 500m to the south-west. Three buildings, plus two tiled hearths, were discovered. These were associated with several gullies on the edge of the excavated area, which may have represented the remains of two further structures. There are notes on | |||||||||||||||||||||||
