Abstract: |
Five trenches were excavated, in all of the trenches, approximately 1m below the surface, a buried soil horizon was present containing abraded sherds of Romano-British pottery and fragments of animal bone. This was positive evidence for land reclamation around the 'Island' of Brent Knoll during this period. The scarcity of archaeological features within the buried soil layer indicated that the area would probably have been used for pasture or grazing. It was apparent that following the Roman period the land had reverted to a flood plain. [Au(abr)] |
