| Abstract: |
Although no archaeological features or deposits were found within any of the 19 trial trenches, a small assemblage of finds ranging in date from Middle Iron Age to Early Romano-British was recovered. The soil sequence and finds evidence suggested that, during the later prehistoric period, the northern and western parts of the site formed higher, drier ground situated on the margins of the flood plain, while the southern and eastern parts represented wetter areas, prone to more frequent local inundation. Although the finds indicated human activity in the vicinity of the site during the later Iron Age and the early Romano-British periods, the absence of archaeological features suggested that this activity had been sparse and probably transitory.
