| Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during the laying of a water pipeline which passed through an area of recorded Romano-British activity. The only archaeological features identified along the trench route were within an extensive cropmark site. Th majority of the features identified were concentrated at the highest point of the field. Although the excavation of the features was at a small scale and very limited, it showed that the archaeological remains had been derived over a much wider period than the SMR entry for the site, which suggested a Romano-British date for them. A large amount of Iron Age pottery was also revealed, which whilst being residual, were probably from a settlement in the immediate vicinity of the settlement. Roman pottery and a loop and button fastener was also revealed. Little appeared to have happened in the area after the Roman period until medieval times. At least three phases of activity dating from between the 11th and 14th centuries were represented by ditches, which had been interpreted as field boundaries plus a couple of pits. Finally, and unusually for a rural site, there were very few late medieval or post-medieval artefacts recovered, illustrating a decrease in activity in the area after the 13th century. [AIP] |
