Abstract: |
49 evaluation trenches were excavated prior to proposed residential development, 23 of which were shown to contain significant archaeological remains dating from the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age, Romano British, and early medieval periods. An area of intensive Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age activity and settlement appeared to include a small enclosure centred on a man-made gravel platform. The enclosed area seemed to have been sub-divided by cremation pits, a large quarry pit and agricultural features. The presence of an isolated feature and residual pottery suggested limited activity during the Late Iron Age. Activity associated with the Romano-British period centred on a possible collapsed kiln. Pits and ditches relating to industrial activities associated with the kiln were also present. Three medieval field boundary ditches and a single pit were also identified. The features yielded pottery dating from the 11th to 13th century. [Au(abr)] |
