Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out following an earlier desk-based assessment, and geophysical and fieldwalking surveys. The earlier work suggested the existence of four enclosure complexes, thought to be of Late Iron Age/Romano-British date on the basis of shape and form, together with three potential Saxon sites. Trenches excavated in Enclosure Complexes 1-4 confirmed the results of the geophysical survey, in addition, pottery finds in Enclosure Complexes 1 and 2 indicated that they were of at least two phases, Mid-Late Iron Age and early Romano-British. Enclosure Complexes 3 and 4 appeared to be solely of Mid-Late Iron Age date. They were interpreted as small-scale agricultural settlements. Few datable features were found within potential Saxon Sites1 and 2, though finds previously recovered indicated that pits and ditches uncovered were probably of that date. Early-Mid Saxon pottery recovered from two features in Enclosure Complex 2, indicated Saxon occupation of a former Iron Age and Romano-British site. [Au(adp)] |
