Abstract: |
An extensive area of Roman and Iron Age occupation was revealed by selective detailed geophysical survey and trial trench excavation on land proposed for a windfarm development. The Roman settlement was dated to the 1st and 2nd centuries and characterised by a large number of sub-rectangular enclosures covering an area of at least 3 ha. The adjacent Iron Age settlement, which was not identified by the geophysical survey, was characterised by shallow gullies and other small features, and was not tightly defined. The finds from both occupations were unexceptional and suggest modest agricultural establishments. There were a few undated features and extensive furrows probably relating to medieval cultivation. |
