Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out in advance of gravel extraction, at a site where an earlier evaluation had recorded Early Neolithic pits and a later Bronze Age field system with associated pits and structures. Excavation revealed a swathe of prehistoric landscape, hosting diverse episodes of occupation and activity. In the main, this consisted of Neolithic pit clusters overlain by a later 2nd millennium BC settlement, strung out along the edge of a co-axial field system with a ring ditch complex at its southern end. Possible Early Bronze Age activity was also observed. Settlement evidence included a post-built longhouse set within a 'C'-shaped compound which re-cut the field system, and associated roundhouses. A Romano-British field system was also identified. [Au(adp)] |
