Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out in advance of gravel extraction at a site where an earlier field survey had identified several concentrations of artefacts, including Iron Age, Roman, Saxon and medieval items. The excavation was located to examine the area of a particularly dense scatter of pottery recorded in the southern part of the site. This assemblage, which was collected from nine 20m-square collection units, included 15 Iron Age sherds and an Anglo-Saxon sherd, as well as 23 indeterminate sherds which may have been of Iron Age or Anglo-Saxon date. The site lay immediately to the north of a ring ditch. During the excavation, two ditches containing post-medieval artefacts and two smaller linear features which were probably of post-medieval date were recorded. A possible post-hole containing pottery, an undated pit and one further feature were also revealed. Pottery recovered appeared similar to the Iron Age/Saxon sherds found during the previous fieldwalking. [AIP] |
