Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Following an initial evaluation, excavation of a site off High Street, Meppershall was undertaken in late 2001 and early 2002, prior to housing development. Investigations revealed mainly agricultural features of Roman date, including ditches, pits and postholes, and part of an enclosure ditch. Several small intercutting pits surrounded a spring in the centre of the excavation area. Samples taken from these pits revealed that the manufacture of bone plates or plaques was taking place on the site. Evidence for iron smithing was also identified. Although no buildings or other structural evidence were found during the excavation, from the number of features and quantity of pottery present it is likely that a farmstead lies in the immediate vicinity, probably on rising ground to the east of the site. | ||
