| Abstract: |
The excavation was a follow-up to those carried out in 1999. Bronze Age pottery was recovered from a field drain, and a trench was opened up in the area previously identified as a Neolithic pit. A buried early medieval plough soil was removed, and Mesolithic worked flints were found to occupy natural features, perhaps indicating some exploitation of the surrounding area and valley bottom. A large north-south aligned boundary ditch ran across the length of the site and which was tentatively dated to the Late Neolithic, with use carrying on into the Bronze Age. Two phases of re-cutting had occurred. Finds of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age date indicated sporadic occupation of the site. Some Roman occupation was suggested by a single poorly dated pit and finds from the plough soil. [Au(abr)] |
