Abstract:
A fifth season of salvage recording was undertaken at Wellington gravel quarry during removal of topsoil and alluvium in advance of gravel extraction. A range of archaeological deposits were recorded, notably of prehistoric and Roman date. Prehistoric deposits included a group of pits containing a large and significant assemblage of pottery and flint of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. A significant assemblage of charred plant remains was recovered from these deposits. Other prehistoric deposits included a possible ring-ditch and boundary ditches. Roman deposits included a series of boundary ditches, small pits and the remains of two human cremation burials. The relative paucity of Roman features and artefacts compared to other parts of the quarry suggests that this area lay on the periphery of the Roman settlement, probably representing the agricultural hinterland of the estate. No features were definitively identified as medieval in date, although elements of post-Roman field systems were excavated.[AIP]
