Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations were carried out prior to further mineral extraction across the site. Linear features, mainly ditches, were the predominant feature type. Many of these lay within part of Bronze Age or Roman systems, with a few larger ditches and land drains belonging to the post-medieval period. To the west the second phase identified a series of inter-cutting Collared Urn pits and several associated smaller pits and post holes. The earliest evidence defining areas of land was a Bronze Age field system consisting of a series of co-axial east-west orientated ditches. Evidence for a Later Bronze Age, Post-Deveral Rimbury settlement, was recovered from three distinct areas during the second phase of excavation. The next phase of activity dated to the Romano-British period. It had been previously noted that the main Romano-British activity in the area comprised a farmstead complex dated to the 3rd century AD and located immediately to the east of the 1996 excavation area. The Roman field system continued over the whole development area. [Au(adp)] |
