Abstract: |
The evaluation was conducted on a site about 250 metres south-west of Caudle Head Mere. Previous excavations and monitoring of various ground works suggested that the mere was the focus of an extensive settlement. Evidence of prehistoric, Roman and Early Anglo-Saxon occupation had been recorded at several locations around it. The evaluation trenching demonstrated that substantial and well preserved archaeological deposits survived right across the development area. Finds recovered included Mesolithic flint blades, Iron Age pottery, Roman coins and jewellery and Early Anglo-Saxon artefacts. The indications were that features excavated were a continuation of the settlement surrounding Caudle Head. The settlement appeared to be flourishing during the Roman period and most of the features excavated dated from this phase. [AIP] |
