Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Cropmarks of a square, double-ditched IA/RB enclosure, a Roman temporary camp and another sub-rectangular enclosure were excavated in advance of road building. All monuments were plough damaged. The square enclosure contained six intersecting circular buildings, one surrounded by a ditch, and three sunken features with charcoal rich fills. A cobbled surface in the south-east corner may indicate a Roman road. Radiocarbon dates from the enclosure ranged from 145~BC to AD~415 and 1285~BC to 230~BC. The Roman camp contained postholes rich in charred barley and wheat. The third and earliest enclosure was defended by a ditch and palisade; the temporary camp re-used part of its ditch. An oven, probably associated with the Roman camp, was also found in the third enclosure. Three cremation burials were found north of the square enclosure. Two were contained in collared urns, which were found in small cists. The third was in a pit and unaccompanied.
