Abstract: |
Further evaluation was undertaken within the north-eastern corner of SAM 899. Evidence of probable prehistoric and Romano-British agricultural features was found, including an undated horse burial. On balance it seemed probable that the horse burial should be viewed as a later prehistoric or Roman ritual internment rather than a casual post-medieval burial. Further evidence of early Saxon activity was found in the form of a small pit or post-hole containing unabraded pottery. It was difficult to characterize the nature of the Saxon activity, but occupation focussed on the southern part of the study area was considered a probability. Generally archaeological deposits were concentrated in the southern part of the area investigated, with little evidence in those trenches dug towards the current A419 (Ermin Street). [Au] |
