| Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out at a development site where two earlier evaluations had revealed archaeological remains. During the excavation, a Later Neolithic bowl was recovered from a pit, and two Early Bronze Age pits were recorded, including one which lay within a small Middle Bronze Age cremation cemetery. Middle Iron Age pottery was recovered from the ditches of a trapezoidal enclosure; two pits within this contained animal bone and pottery. Later modifications to the enclosure ditches and entrances were noted, and a well or water hole of Late Iron Age/Early Roman date produced a substantial pottery assemblage and part of a dog skeleton. Two sunken-floored Roman structures associated with stakeholes, pits, hearths or oven bases and two wells were recorded. Post-medieval features consisted of land drains, a pit and a hollow way. Undated features were also recorded, including the ditches of a field system, clusters of burnt flint and the footings of a drystone wall. [Au(abr)] |
