| Abstract: |
The discovery of an Early Iron Age ditch cut by a Middle Iron Age pit during an evaluation at the proposed site of a new building at a school led to an excavation of the entire affected area. The largest prehistoric feature revealed by the excavation was a ditch, apparently a re-cut of an earlier ditch. Its upper fill contained fragments of clay loomweight, and pottery ranging in date from the Late Bronze Age to the Middle Iron Age. Several pits were recorded, the majority of which were of Iron Age date, although one contained a sherd of Roman pottery and one contained a late Saxon sherd. An undated gully and a number of post holes and stake holes, thought to have been of prehistoric date, were also revealed. Four of the post holes may have indicated the arc of a roundhouse. Post-medieval features were also recorded, including 18th and 19th century quarry pits, 19th-20th century garden features, a probable boundary ditch of the 17th to mid 18th century and a brick wall foundation which appeared to correlate with a property boundary on a map of 1870. Features representing a small building, perhaps a service building for a nearby 18th century house, were also recorded, and three further structures were noted. [AIP] |
