| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an extension to a school, which probably lay within the area of a Roman settlement. An Iron Age hillfort, where Saxon burials and evidence of Neolithic and Bronze Age activity had also been found, lay to the east. During the evaluation a Romano-British ditch, probably of 3rd-4th century date, was recorded, and Middle Iron Age post holes containing pottery were revealed. A ditch and a further post hole, the latter containing a flint flake, may have pre-dated the Iron Age. An archaeological excavation covering the footprint of the proposed development was recommended.
