Abstract: |
Excavation in advance of construction of a service station and following a desk based assessment found a rich variety of archaeological deposits. One area contained Roman settlement with at least one building with a hearth and associated features. There was evidence for considerable Bronze Age and/or Iron Age activity too, consisting of ditches, pits and post-holes. Environmental analysis was conducted on samples including planking from Roman wells. [AIP] |
