Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed gravel extraction site, where cropmarks had been identified by aerial photography. The main components of the cropmark complex had been interpreted as post-medieval enclosures and a prehistoric ring ditch. During the evaluation, evidence of a late 12th-early 13th century settlement was recorded. This appeared to have consisted of two large enclosures, two or more timber buildings and a very early example of a wooden post mill. Two possible ponds were also present. Medieval pottery, two prehistoric sherds and eight sherds of Late Iron Age and Roman pottery were recovered. [Au(adp)] |
