Abstract: |
Excavations in advance of the construction of a drilling site revealed three pits of early Neolithic date, and a cluster of smaller pits of late Neolithic or early Bronze Age date, possibly contemporary with land divisions represented by a number of ditches defining fields and a possible droveway aligned north-west to south-east. A ring ditch of a probable barrow, lay within one of these fields. Later activity in the Iron Age or early Romano-British period consisted of three trenches possibly associated with iron smetling on the site. A number of pits and ditches of an enclosure in the north-west of the site may have been contemporary. All the features were sealed beneath colluvial deposits of the 1st millenium AD. [Au(abr)] |
