| Abstract: |
One hundred and twenty five trenches, 40m x 1.8m were excavated. A late Bronze Age hoard and possible cropmarks had previously been recorded, and burnt and struck flint had been found during previous fieldwalking. Few archaeological features were recorded though. No evidence for a ring ditch as revealed by cropmark was recorded. A large ditch, containing Early Iron Age pottery and some 30m in length, was recorded on the line of the southernmost of two putative interrupted parallel enclosure ditches/droveways running east-south-east/west-north-west. Small and irregular pits were recorded during the evaluation, though not in the quantity expected from air photographic assessment. These features, undated, contained charcoal and burnt flints, suggesting evidence of tree clearance. An undated ditch was recorded in trenches 35, 52 and 56, parallel with a later field boundary along the south eastern side of the site. [Au(adp)] |
