Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations in 1997 and 1998 on the site of a proposed Tesco Store at Hamilton, Leicester, revealed a rectangular Bronze Age ditch and a complex of mid to late Iron Age structures and enclosures. Both types of site are unusual in the prehistoric landscape of Leicestershire. The Iron Age settlement consisted of three phases, each comprising a round house with a number of enclosures adjacent, of varying nature and function, and some four-post structures. An area of iron production was identified to the west of the site, and a substantial assemblage of pottery including scored ware was found. Radio-carbon dates from the site range between 415 and 46 Cal BC. Widespread trading links within the midlands were seen and two Roman Republican silver coins were also found. | ||
