Abstract: |
Twenty-six machine-dug trenches were excavated. An Iron Age posthole was found in the north-eastern part of the site, with a fragment of charred grain and saddle quern in its fill that suggested arable cultivation. Nine roman features were founds and whilst no evidence for structural features was identified an abundance of evidence was collected for settlement/domestic activity. Roman pottery, glass and animal bones were recovered from the trenches. The evaluation demonstrated some degree of modern disturbance from former wartime MOD structures. A further 6 undated linear ditches were recorded within the central and eastern parts of the site. No evidence of medieval or post-medieval remains were discovered. [Au(abr)] |
