Abstract: |
<summary>Following the monitoring of a pipeline scheme, small-scale excavations and metal-detecting were carried out on two areas of archaeological importance. A complex sequence of archaeology was revealed in one of these areas: 1st to 4th century finds and evidence of a major building were uncovered; this is probably a Roman villa site which belonged to a rich individual. A previously unknown late Iron Age and early Roman ditch system with good evidence for an associated settlement representing a relatively short-lived occupation was revealed in the second area. Further evidence for the Saxon origin of Alpheton was also found. {italon}AIP{italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} ALP003, 006 |
