| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. A large number of sites relating to the Roman pottery industry lay in the surrounding area, and a major Roman road passed within 200m. During the evaluation, evidence of a Middle Iron Age settlement was revealed. Features included ditches, gullies, a possible post hole and a possible pit. Two Roman ditches and an undated but possibly post-medieval trackway with flanking ditches were also recorded. Iron Age pottery and bone, post-medieval pottery, one medieval potsherd and two prehistoric flints were recovered. Scatters of Roman pottery may have indicated the proximity of kilns. [AIP] |
