Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed development. Previous investigations identified activity spanning the Middle Iron Age to the 4th century AD. There appeared to be a wholesale relocation of the settlement core southwards from the Mid-Late Iron Age. Based on currently available information it seemed that the settlement core drifted southwards and eastwards from the Late Iron Age into the Romano-British period. Given the apparently key strategic location of this hilltop the drift may have reflected a conscious desire to physically dominate the local landscape overlooking Ermine Street. Materials recorded from previous excavation and recent evaluation suggested relativity high status occupation throughout the period of occupation with the presence of a villa within the immediate vicinity of the site being highly probability.
