Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In order to elaborate on brief investigations carried out in the 1950s, the Manshead Archaeological Society obtained permission from the landowner, Mr W Edwins, to excavate in an orchard on the hilltop at New House Farm, Billington. Seven trenches were excavated between 1997-99, giving an area excavation of c. 70 square metres. A palimpsest of medieval to post medieval occupation evidence was revealed adjacent to and partially overlying Romano-British features and two late Roman period burials, one within a recut Roman ditch and the other cut into the edge of a large Iron Age defensive ditch. The ditch had been filled with burnt material and destruction debris from some undatable but catastrophic event on the site in the later prehistoric period. | ||
