| Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed evidence of multi-phase occupation activity, although most of this was clearly related to drainage in an area prone to severe waterlogging. Three sets of remains were considered to have been of clear archaeological significance. A Late Bronze Age 'founder's hoard', consisting of 27 fragments of copper alloy (bronze) spear heads and shafts, palstaves and other identifiable implements was exposed in trench 8. Also present were five potsherds from at least three flint-tempered vessels. Further evidence of early settlement activity was represent by three sherds of probable Late Iron Age pottery and four sherds of Romano-British pottery recorded from deposits also containing later, medieval material. These earlier, residual ceramics may have been associated with a daub-filled pit and/or section of ditch, neither of which contained dateable archaeological materials but were of early appearance. The third set of the remains consisted of a complex and dense cluster of medieval features exposed in trench 9. This appeared to represent the possible site of a medieval dwelling or dwellings dating from the 11th century to the middle of the 16th century. [Au(abr)] |
