Abstract:

Excavations revealed alluvium deposited by the Horsbere Brook, which radiocarbon dating demonstrates had been deposited by the twelfth century BC. Three or four Middle Bronze Age cremation burials were probably part of a flat cemetery, the site subsequently occupied by a Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age settlement which contained in excess of four post-built roundhouses. In the first century AD a settlement that contained a number of probable mass-walled roundhouses was constructed. It was extensively reorganised in the early-second century AD when a series of ditched enclosures were linked to Ermin Street by a 320m-long trackway. A small cemetery of twelve inhumations is noteworthy as it demonstrates that the Late Iron Age tradition of burial by crouched inhumation persisted into the second century AD. Several of the burials were accompanied by grave goods, and one of the males suffered from a very rare form of dwarfism to his forearms, a condition that would have been obvious to his contemporaries. The settlement continued in use until the late-third or early-fourth century, although the trackway ditches continued to accumulate material into the later fourth century. The trackway and enclosures appear to have survived as visible earthworks into the medieval period as their orientation influenced the alignment of medieval field systems.
