Abstract: |
Evidence for Palaeolithic occupation in the vicinity of the study area was revealed, and nearby Neolithic and Bronze Age activity. Major settlement and exploitation of the landscape ocurred during the Iron Age and Romano-British periods, attested to by a series of cropmarks and excavations preceding gravel quarrying. Anglo-Saxon settlement took place at nearby Somerford Keynes, and there was evidence for early medieval field systems from within the study area. Extensive gravel quarrying in modern times had removed much of the archaeological record on the site, but some potential remained for the preservation of deposits. [Au] |
