Abstract: |
Fieldwalking was carried out at a site where ring ditches had previously been identified from cropmark evidence. A geophysical survey had also revealed evidence of negative features in the area of the cropmarks. In the surrounding area, Iron Age pottery, an Iron Age settlement and a Roman inhumation had been recorded. The town of Wallingford itself was a former Saxon burh. During the fieldwalking survey, pottery of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval date was recovered. Other finds included post-medieval tile, vessel glass and clay pipe, iron nails, slag, oyster shell and animal bone. However, the main area of archaeological interest identified was a distinct concentration of prehistoric flint across the eastern part of the site, particularly in the south-west corner. This concentration included almost all of the retouched pieces and cores from the total assemblage, and appeared to have corresponded to the earlier cropmark and geophysical plots. No other artefact group showed a significant distribution pattern. [AIP] |
