Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
ST 526698. The main interest of this sixteen-acre settlement lies in its defence by a wall 15ft thick erected some time after the beginning of 3rd cent. The extent and nature of the earliest occupation, which began in mid-1st cent, is not yet known, but several stone buildings of 3rd cent, including two of basilican plan, have been investigated. Pottery and coins run from 1st cent to late 4th; a little 5th cent material is unassociated with structures. The pottery is fully illustrated in stratified groups because a type series for the area is lacking. There is evidence for iron and lead working. The strength of the town wall is exceptional for a site of no apparent military significance, but Gatcombe may have gained importance as a market town when lower-lying areas were inundated by a rise in sea-level. Excavation is expected to continue. | ||||||||||||
