Abstract: |
The evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site where cropmarks representing two well-defined enclosures and a possible third had been recorded. Geophysical survey over 30% of the site recorded anomalies which were thought to represent large ditches defining two enclosures and a possible droveway, further boundary ditches, and features within the enclosures. Trial trenching confirmed that three enclosures were present. Evidence of settlement activity was revealed in the form of pits, post-holes and a corn-drying oven with a large assemblage of carbonised plant remains. Pottery indicated that occupation of the site could have extended from the 2nd to the 4th centuries AD, so that it could be characterised as a native Romano-British homestead. [AIP] |
