| Abstract: |
Three areas of high archaeological significance were identified as well as seven areas of secondary significance. The archaeology within these areas dated from the Neolithic through to the Anglian period and included a peat bog, possible Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement, an Iron Age round house within an enclosure with associated waterlogged deposits, Iron Age and Roman field systems, a series of Iron Age enclosures associated with two springheads with good organic preservation, a probable Roman villa with a heated bathroom in its north-west corner and a furnace base to supply the heat in the north-east corner, a Roman road leading up to the probable building, a further Roman structure of cobbles and boulders, and possible areas where Anglian settlement may exist. No evidence for the use of the site during the Anglo-Scandinavian period was recovered. During the medieval, post-medieval and modern periods the site has been used for agriculture, and where the land has not been protected by thick layers of colluvium, aeolian sands and plough drag, the original ground surface has been truncated to varying degrees by medieval ridge and furrow, modern ploughing and subsoiling activity. A backfilled post-medieval pond, with good organic preservations as well as a modern quarry hole were also recovered. Artefacts were not numerous, but included material dated to the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Anglian, medieval, post-medieval and modern periods. [Au(abr)] |
