Abstract: |
The evaluation identified three main periods of activity, commencing with the Bronze Age that was represented by a single pit and residual finds. Iron Age remains were encountered on the higher ground in the north-eastern part of the site, which may have represented evidence for settlement. This appeared to have continued into the Romano-British period, to which the majority of securely dated features were attributed. The present topography of the site may have survived from these periods in the form of field boundary ditches. Post-medieval activity seemed to have been confined to agricultural practices and the southern field was previously used as a golf course. [Au(adp)] |
