Abstract: |
Dense occupation of late Saxon to medieval date was identified in the northwestern corner of the field, and included pitting and evidence for timber structures of more than one phase. In part this overlay deliberate dumping which seemed to have provided an extension to the gravel terrace. The latter was found to occupy only the northeastern corner of the field, rather than spreading across it as indicated on the Geological Survey map. The gravel terrace, and adjacent dumping on which occupation was located, represented a sharp contrast with the lower lying and probably periodically flooded basin across the rest of the field. Ditches seen in aerial photographs formed a drainage system probably constructed to keep episodic flooding at bay. [Au] |
