Abstract: |
A moderate concentration of archaeological features was recorded throughout the site. Features, mainly pits, of Neolithic date, represented the earliest activity. While isolated examples were identified in all areas of the site, the main concentration was recorded towards the eastern end of the area excavate.. Artefactual evidence included significant quantities of Grooved Ware pottery, struck flints and heat altered flints. Similar features excavated elsewhere had been interpreted as structured deposits which may have fulfilled a ritual/specialised function rather than representing domestic activity. The second phase of activity dated to the Iron Age and was represented by at least ten post hole structures and pits. Structures such as these had been interpreted elsewhere as granaries and were suggestive of domestic activity in the immediate vicinity of the site. The third, fourth and fifth phases of activity (Roman, Early Anglo-Saxon and medieval) were limited to four, unstratified, small finds located by metal detector in the intervening subsoil layers between the topsoil and underlying sand and gravel. The sixth phase of activity (post-medieval) was dominated by north-east to south-west and north-west to south-east orientatd ditches forming a field system aligned with the present landscape features and were thought to be associated with Flixton Hall itself.
