Abstract: |
A geophysical survey identified a ridge and furrow system and, at the southern end of the study area, defined Iron Age and Roman remains previously explored. Trial trenching was carried out over the entire area and, apart from isolated fragments of ditch perhaps from a Roman field system, the evidence for ancient activity was limited to the southern part of the study area. The site identified previously was found to be of Iron Age and Roman date and may perhaps have been part of a larger site which extended to the south of the study area. The area as a whole was found to be wet but no surviving waterlogged levels were found. [Au] |
