Abstract: |
A programme of trial trench evaluation revealed evidence for Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval activity. Excepting a Neolithic flint blade found in the topsoil, no prehistoric material was recovered. There were a series of coaxial ditches and slighter linear channels, containing concentrations of Romano-British pottery, that included one complete and one partially complete vessel. Quantities of Romano-British roof and floor tile and pottery were found strewn over the field surface of the south. Other linear ditches were attributable to medieval and post-medieval periods with pottery ranging from the 12th to 20th centuries. Two discrete features were excavated, an undated post hole and an undated pit. [Au(abr)] |
