Wiltshire Archaeol Natur Hist Mag 90

Reports the results of an excavation undertaken in 1974 on a realignment of the A303. Evidence of an unenclosed IA settlement was revealed. The artefacts, mostly from pits, are recorded, together with a specialist report on the animal bone. The significance of the site is discussed including evidence from at least one pit of a ritual component within IA society. There is a separately authored report on `Animal bone' by M S Moody & R Moody (22--3).

A reassessment of the coin evidence, arguing that the silver and bronze coins were deposited soon after 375AD. There is a `Catalogue of the coins' (50--4).

Reports excavation that revealed part of a medieval settlement. A complex of ditches appeared to be related to the sub-division of one of a series of plots, possibly part of a row of medieval crofts fronting the main village street and enclosed by a back lane. The most intensive area of activity was well back on the plot where a number of intercutting pits yielded medieval pottery. The finds overall suggested periodic occupation of the site from at least the twelfth-century onwards, with pottery drawn from sources up to twenty miles from the village. Some general conclusions are drawn on the development of the village as compared with others in Wiltshire and elsewhere. There are details of the `Medieval pottery' by Lucy Bown (83--7), `Small finds' by Leigh Allen & Fiona Roe (87), `Flint finds' by Philippa Bradley (87), `Palaeoenvironmental samples' by Mark Robinson (88).

Reports fairly high status object cast in bronze.
