Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out on the site on land identified by earlier excavations and evaluations as containing Roman enclosures and settlements. A Romano-British settlement of 2nd-4th century date was identified, represented by three phases of activity. Phase 1 consisted of a single enclosure ditch and field boundary, with smaller ditches and gullies dug outside the enclosed area. Phase 2 consisted of two enclosure ditches and an associated ditch gully and pit. A number of structural remains were identified from this period, consisting of beam-slots, cobbled surfaces, a ring gully and four post pads. One the cobbled surfaces was covered in charred glume and spelt. Phase 3 consisted of two ditches and a large pit. [Au(abr)] |
