Abstract: |
Features associated with settlement/enclosures and dated to the Mid to Late Iron Age to 1st century AD were uncovered. Area 5 contained a number of circular, steep-sided, flat-bottomed pits interpreted as storage pits, which had been re-used for the disposal of domestic waste. These were located close to a ditch and two subcircular enclosure ditches. The enclosures were only partially uncovered within the pipeline route. Two neonate burials were excavated within Area 5, one within a pit, the other within one of the enclosure ditches. Area 6 also contained a number of storage pits, some of them with human bone placed within them. A large ditch defined the limits of the pits, and was cut into the bedrock. All the features were dated by quantities of similarly dated Iron Age pottery. The subsequent watching brief recorded the remains of the Iron Age ''Aves Ditch'', a probable tribal territory marker, evidence for which survived beneath the road (B4030) between Areas 5 and 6, and as an earthwork alongside the excavation areas. |
