Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed evidence of possible Bronze Age activity at the head of the coombe, that was once open to Southampton Water, in the form of a burnt flint feature and two ditches. A triple-ditch system probably from the later prehistoric period ran northwest-southeast across the southern field. The recovery of probable briquetage from one of the ditches suggested salt-working along the edge of Southampton Water. At the southern end of the site, at the head of another coombe, there was evidence of medieval activty. It was certain that there was medieval occupation, possibly a farm, and the Roman evidence suggested a possible field-system nearby. [Au(abr)] |
