Abstract: |
Excavations at the site confirmed the presence of significant archaeological remains. A sub-rectangular palisade gully of probable Iron Age date, enclosed the remains of at least two post-built subcircular structures and provided evidence of settlement. A series of ditches defined trackways, field systems and a sub-rectangular enclosure, thought to date from the later Iron Age/Romano-British periods. Discrete pits and post holes were identified within this enclosure, and artefactual and environmental assessments suggested evidence for domestic and industrial activity within the area. Three grave cuts were identified, containing the remains of at least four individuals, which may also have dated from the Iron Age/Romano-British periods. [Au] |
