Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out at a site where earlier evaluation and excavation had revealed evidence of prehistoric, Roman and early Saxon settlement. Neolithic and Late Bronze Age features had been recorded, the latter including ditches, pits, post holes and evidence of four-post structures. During the watching brief, worked flints of probable Mesolithic date were found, and a small assemblage of Early Bronze Age sherds was recovered from a pit. Additional Late Bronze Age features were revealed, which did not change the overall interpretation of the earlier remains. Features included a pattern of shallow ditches, probably representing field boundaries. Cremation and inhumation burials dating from the 1st-2nd century AD were found, and the number of early Saxon sunken-featured buildings known at the site was increased from four to eleven. Pottery dating suggested that the Saxon settlement had occurred in the 5th-6th centuries. [AIP] |
