Abstract:
SX 957890. Reports an area excavation of 0.4ha on a gravel terrace. A small number of microliths may represent Mesolithic occupation, and Late Neo/Beaker settlement was evidenced by flint scatter and thirteen pits yielding a macehead, a greenstone axe fragment and Grooved Ware and Peterborough sherds. Roman timber buildings dating AD 50/55 to 70/75 included a three-room domestic building with verandah, and there were also lines and complexes of stake- and post-holes. The proportion of fine wares in the pottery was relatively high. A probable 2nd-century boundary and a late 3rd/4th-century cremation in a small rectangular tomb showed use later in the Roman period.
