Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation undertaken in advance of mineral extraction found Bronze Age post built structures with 'ritual' or intentional placement of pottery, a large pit or well which was back filled with deposits containing significant quantities of pottery, animal bone and local fossiliferous limestone. Artefactually this well was the richest feature on the site. A crouched Bronze Age inhumation was found on the margins of a barrow excavated in 1997. Results to date suggested an open landscape with an unenclosed settlement and pockets of activity occurring beyond the main focus of habitation. There was also evidence for Iron Age or Roman field boundaries and much of the site was covered in traces of the medieval field system. [Au(adp)] |
