Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised six trial trenches each measuring 50m in length. Three linear features and six pits were identified, mostly dating to the Early Anglo-Saxon period. Although these represented contemporary settlement activity, it was likely that the features were on the margins of a settlement which may have been located to the east of the site. A large feature of unknown size and function could have been an ancient silted up former river channel or palaeochannel, perhaps opened during the Romano-British period. Evidence of Iron Age and Romano-British settlement activity had been discovered in the vicinity of the site and suggested a long period of continuous settlement activity in the area. Late Bronze Age pottery and flint was recovered, but thought to be residual. [AIP] |
