Abstract: |
The identification of a large ditch during site works at Liskeard Junior and Infant School led to a brief archaeological excavation. Because of severe truncation of the site during the site works, few archaeological features survived, with the exception of the main curving ditch. Although no dating evidence was found the site was considered most likely to have been an Iron Age or Roman-British "round" site (an enclosed farming settlement dating to circa 300 BC-AD 500), with an internal diameter of perhaps 80-90 metres. A proportion of the site, perhaps one fifth on the west and a smaller amount to the east remained unaffected by development, and is likely to have good archaeological potential. Outside the enclosure there are likely to be the remains of assorted features such as ditched field boundaries. [Au] |
