Abstract: |
Aerial photographic evidence suggested the presence of archaeological remains on the airfield and during groundworks at the site a number of ditch features were exposed. Previous geophysical surveys had identified several circular ditches and enclosures. Survey was undertaken with the aim of further clarifying the nature and extent of the recorded archaeological responses. This work formed part of a wider investigation being undertaken as part of the Time Team series. Survey successfully identified numerous responses of archaeological interest. The results showed a series of sub-rectangular enclosures with ring ditches inside and some evidence for other internal enclosures. The shape and form of the anomalies was suggestive of a settlement site, possibly Iron Age/Romano-British in date, though some of the rings could easily have been Bronze Age barrows. The western and southern limits of the site were defined by the gradiometer survey. The northern and eastern limits could not be confirmed by geophysics due to a runway to the north and a DEFRA site to the east. [Au(abr)] |
