Abstract: |
The investigations identified an east/west-aligned ditch in the south-west corner of the site containing 64 sherds of Late Iron Age/early Romano-British pottery. A gully running parallel to the south and two shallow ditches running parallel to the north all produced contemporary material. A small cluster of shallow, charcoal-rich pits in the south-east corner of the site contained the remains of at least four in situ cremation burials within Late Iron Age/early Romano-British pots, though these were much truncated by later ploughing. In addition to the cremation urn, one of these features contained several other smashed pots apparently representing grave goods. Two large aligned ditches, which ran through the site, were cut through a buried soil horizon, which overlay the Iron Age/Romano-British features. The only finds recovered were post-medieval in date.
