Abstract: |
A third season of excavations was undertaken as part of a research and training project designed to investigate the area of the outer enclosure (i.e. the 'Stockyard' or 'Farmyard') of the fourth-century villa. Geophysical survey was also continued. Two possible boundary ditches, one dating to the Late Neronian-Flavian period, the other to the early-mid second century, and Antonine periods were excavated. It was considered possible that the ditches served successively as the southern boundary of the early ditched enclosure. Other discoveries included another ditch cutting the boundary ditch of the early enclosure which contained early-mid third century pottery. Gullies, various pits and post-holes, and a human infant burial were found. A fieldwalking project collected a range of prehistoric and Roman material indicating extensive use of the land at Bignor Roman Villa and environs since the prehistoric period. [Au(abr)] |
