Abstract: |
Evaluation trenches revealed the presence of a Bronze Age settlement. This appeared to consist of possible post structures, pits and gullies with probable associated ditches. The evaluation also confirmed the presence and extent of the nucleated Roman settlement as shown on aerial plots. The artefacts recovered suggested a period of occupation between the 1st and 4th centuries. Earlier, Iron Age pottery was also recovered from the enclosure area, possibly hinting at the existence of an earlier settlement, possibly masked by the Roman occupation. [Au(adp)] |
