Abstract: |
Excavation revealed a series of Iron Age/Romano-British enclosures and associated features located along the southern bank of the stream that formed the northern extent of the site. Archaeological deposits survived largely at the bottom of the valley slope where they were protected from later truncation by ploughing by a build up of colluvium/alluvium, c.1m thick in places. Further up the hill slope only the most substantial features had survived. The evidence suggested that flash floods occurred during occupation of the site, necessitating the re-cutting of eaves drip gullies and other more shallow features. Drainage was of obvious importance, as attested by a complex of ditches, orientated north-south, which would have originally drained into the stream. [Au] |
