Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in relation to a planning application to construct a replacement terminal building. The investigation revealed evidence of Iron Age and Roman period occupation in all but one of the excavated trenches. This included a system of ditched boundaries on a north-west south-east and north-east south-west alignment as well as the remains of circular structures, a possible post-built structure, pits and a single inhumation. The artefacts retrieved were indicative of settlement activity and included an unusual Iron Age base sherd with a 'makers' stamp and a possible continental import. The evidence complimented the findings from investigations to the north of the site and suggested that the extensive Iron Age settlement found there extended southwards into and probably beyond the current area of investigation.
