Abstract: |
In August and September 2008, Archaeological Solutions conducted a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording at Marks Warren Quarry. Previous archaeological investigation into the area identified prehistoric activity, including an Iron Age ditched enclosure, a Roman enclosure, the flint foundations of a Roman building and a late Iron Age/Roman field system. Previous archaeological investigation undertaken by AS revealed late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pits, postholes and a Bronze Age barrow, late Iron Age cremations and pits, Saxon cremations and ditch, post-medieval drainage ditches, postholes and 20th century activity. The current archaeological investigation identified four phases of activity. Phase 1 comprised late Bronze Age/early Iron Age ditches, possibly part of an enclosure, pits and postholes. Phase 2 was Roman and comprised cremation, pits and possibly a ditch as part of an enclosure. Phase 3 evidence comprised a single medieval posthole. Post-medieval and modern activity was assigned to Phase 4 and included ditches, pit, field drains and plough damage layer. Several undated features were identified across the site. |
