| Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out prior to development, on part of a site where two 7th-8th century ovens had been recorded during earlier investigations. Excavation of later earthworks which surrounded the ovens had revealed 12th-14th century deposits, as well as prehistoric and Roman material. During the 1995-6 excavation, a trackway, ditches and other features, the majority of which corresponded to the alignment of earthworks visible on the surface, were recorded. These supported an earlier interpretation that the earthworks represented the remnants of a field system. A small quantity of Bronze Age pottery was recovered from features in part of the site, and residual Romano-British pottery was found. [Au(abr)] |
