Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Archaeological evidence relating to the Late Iron Age and early Roman periods, and traces of earlier occupation, had been recorded in the surrounding area. Two cemeteries and large ditches interpreted as town defences had been found. During the evaluation, a large ditch which probably represented the defences of the Late Iron Age settlement was identified. An earth bank or rampart had lain on one side of it. Several gullies and a Late Iron Age pit were also recorded, whilst a second major boundary line in the form of a ditch and an early Roman fence or palisade trench was also found. Four post holes indicated a 16th or 17th century rectangular structure. Late Iron Age and Roman pottery and a small amount of medieval and post-medieval material were recovered. [AIP] |
