Excavation on land between Prickwillow Road and High Barns found part of a rural settlement, occupied intermittently from the fifth to the third century BC and then continuously into the second half of the fourth century AD. The main settlement focus may have been outside the excavation area. Evidence from animal bones, artefacts and environmental samples suggests a mixture of arable and pastoral farming in both the Iron Age and Roman periods. Iron Age occupation consisted of a fragmentary ditch, a few pits, two crouched inhumations and a dog burial. Later (c. third century BC) a rounded enclosure was constructed, outside of which was a midden. This enclosure continued in use into the Early Roman period. The Roman enclosures and field systems covered much of the excavation area by the second century AD. Roman features up to the third century mostly consisted of linear and curvilinear ditches. From the third century there was a series of rectilinear enclosures, supplanted in the fourth century by a D-shaped enclosure with evidence of other ditches. Two ovens were the only structures which survived later truncation. To the south-west was a small mixed cremation/inhumation cemetery probably in use from the early-second century to the fourth century AD. Includes reports on | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
