| Abstract: |
The ditch, and probably some of the features within it, were partly destroyed by quarrying on the southern side, but appeared to have measured 40m across, up to 5m wide and 1.6m deep. Several other features were identified, both within the central area enclosed by the ditch and in the immediate vicinity; some of which may have been un-urned cremations and some possible post holes or slots. The ditch was roughly circular in plan, and in profile, was a slightly rounded V-shape. Finds from the ditch consisted of Late Iron Age finds from the earliest fills, and Roman finds from the later fills. Other finds from the site included prehistoric, Late Iron Age and Roman pottery, Roman tile, baked clay, flint, animal bone and burnt bone. [Au(adp)] |
