Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports on excavation in 2006 of a 40m length of the bank and two trenches through the ditch. These revealed a V-shaped ditch with an earth and stone bank on the eastern side. Evidence for a marker bank and a well-laid cobble foundation are used to argue that the dyke was carefully planned. The construction and use are dated via optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) to the early-ninth century, with a possible episode of slighting in the mid-ninth century, and deliberate infilling associated with fourteenth-century ploughing. It is suggested that these dates indicated a construction during the reigns of Cenwulf and Ceolwulf (AD 796-823), or that of Wiglaf during the 830s. | ||||||
