Abstract: | NY 686882. Excavation of a rectangular ditched enclosure on a low riverine spur revealed a couple of prehistoric pits, an Iron Age-RB settlement of three phases, and medieval and post-medieval occupation. The first Iron Age phase was a fenced enclosure, the second had a palisade and four superimposed round timber houses, and the third had (?)two round stone houses enclosed by a rectangular earthwork typical for the area and dated 2nd century AD. A rotary quern and ploughmarks attest agriculture at this time. A long farm building of 17th century consisting of dwelling and byre was examined though extensively robbed; it is documented under the name Doubledykes. | ||
