Abstract: |
A small evaluation revealed evidence for prehistoric, Roman and post-medieval use of the site. The prehistoric system of ditches were likely to be of Later Bronze / Iron Age date and were on a separate alignment from those of the Roman period. The Roman phase of use was represented by another series of parallel ditches, perhaps indicating expansion or contraction of fields or other boundaries. Between the laying down of the prehistoric and Roman features a thick deposit of hillwash had accumulated within the south-western corner of the site, due to soil-creep possibly associated with deforestation or ploughing in the later prehistoric period. A small concentration of post-holes within the north-eastern corner of the site were likely to be of post-medieval date. |
