Abstract: |
Thirteen sites were confirmed by trench evaluation. Prehistoric activity was identified at nine sites. The most significant of these included: a Bronze Age burial mound which was apparently the focus for an Anglo-Saxon cemetery; a Bronze Age cremation cemetery; and at least three settlement sites. One of the settlements spanned the early Neolithic to Iron Age periods, one was late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age or Iron Age, and one was Iron Age. Another site yielded evidence of metal working which was either Iron Age or Anglo-Saxon in date. Evidence dating to the Roman period was found at only four sites and comprised the remains of an enclosed settlement, a corn drier and two enclosure systems. In addition to the Anglo-Saxon cemetery found in association with a Bronze Age burial mound and metal working dating to either the Iron Age or Anglo-Saxon period, possible Anglo-Saxon activity was found in the vicinity of the Roman corn drier. The medieval period was represented at eleven sites. Seven comprised purely agricultural enclosures and field systems. Four sites, including two farmsteads, were domestic in nature. [Au(abr)] |
