Abstract:		 A probable palisade slot and traces of a second slot/gully were the earliest, possibly Late Pre-Roman Iron Age date finds. A large U-shaped ditch, sealed by an upper fill of sand that produced 41 sherds of Roman pottery, redefined the perimeter of the enclosure. As most of the interior of the enclosure lay outside of the investigation, it was not surprising that only one major internal structural feature was recorded. A shallow, curving gully and a concentric arrangement of 23 internal posts that probably defined the ground plan of a small, sub-oval timber building was located, with an entrance at the south-eastern end. The interior was floored with a 0.15m thick layer of redeposited natural silty clay flecked with charcoal. The fill of the gully surrounding the structure produced 35 sherds of Roman pottery and single sherds were recovered from a post hole and a short length of gully. Although 3 trackways were revealed, non produced any dating evidence, but were thought to be Roman. At least five small cremation pits and one possible inhumation were excavated, possibly a Roman cemetery. No evidence of post-Roman activity was noted. [Au(adp)]
