Abstract: |
The evaluation, consisting of the excavation of 25 trial trenches, was undertaken prior to the proposed construction of a new visitor's centre with associated car parking. An earthwork bank and ditch to the west of Almsbury Farm was the remnant of a sunken way of medieval or post-medieval origin and nearby there was a small medieval enclosure. Beneath the 'bank' and extending into the field to the south was a Roman farmstead with at least one stone building and associated enclosure. An Iron Age pit may have indicated the existence of earlier occupation; a medieval human burial was probably an isolated example. The Roman site had yet to be fully defined in terms of function and extent and was at risk from modern ploughing. [Au] |
