Abstract: |
Fieldwalking was carried out within part of a site proposed for mineral extraction. A survey of 73 hectares in 1992 had discovered a scatter of Roman building materials and pottery. In 1997, a more intensive inspection of 6.9 hectares was undertaken within the area covered by the scatter, and large quantities of Roman pottery, tile and building stone were recovered. Distribution plots suggested that the sites of at least two buildings had lain within the survey area. The date ranges of the pottery and the keyed flue tile indicated occupation from the 2nd to the 4th century. A sherd of flint-tempered pottery which was probably of Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age date and six fragments of worked flint were also recovered. [AIP] |
