Abstract: |
A trench-based evaluation was undertaken on a 1026 sq. m plot of land, which lay between areas of Iron Age, Roman, late Saxon and early medieval occupation excavated during 1999 and 2000, to the north and south. A dense multi-period distribution of archaeological features was revealed by the evaluation, representing the continuation of the Iron Age/Roman and late Saxon settlements into this area. Of particular note were a subsoil layer interpreted as a midden, possibly of Iron Age date and a repeatedly recut ditched boundary which may have defined the northern limit to at least one phase of the late Saxon settlement. A buried ploughsoil developed after the abandonment of the Saxon settlement in the 13th century and was overlain by a rough cobbled surface of 13th-14th century date. [Au(abr)] |
