| Abstract: |
Full excavation of the southern half of the site was undertaken prior to development. A Neolithic causewayed enclosure was identified. Three circuits of enclosure ditches were encountered. A number of features were revealed within the enclosure including the remains of a possible roundhouse, a four poster in a separate enclosure, a group of pits and post holes and a possible trackway. There were three other distinct groups of post holes and small pits at the eastern edge of the site. Probable Neolithic features were also encountered to the north of the enclosure. Firmly dated Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age features were located within an enclosure ditch. The enclosure contained a mix of cremation/pyre refuse pits and post holes. Romano-British features encountered on the site consisted of the heavily truncated remains of ditches forming part of a rectilinear enclosure/compound, a small number of post holes and two urned cremations. A medieval field system was also recorded. [Au(abr)] |
