Abstract: |
Two open area excavations, (Sites 1 and 2) and two trench evaluations, (Sites 5 and 6) were undertaken. Only Site 1 produced significant results covering a total area of 0.57ha revealing 84 separate features. Pottery analysis dated these to the early Iron Age - 5th to 3rd centuries BC. Eleven linear ditch features were identified in four discrete rectilinear alignments, which delineated two probable drove-ways. Two flexed inhumation burials were revealed and 22 other features represented pits of various size, form and function. Within a total of 37 postholes fourteen were attributed to square post-built structures. A large well with waterlogged deposits was located in the western part of the site. Two features were dated to earlier prehistoric periods; a small pit of the Middle Bronze Age and a treethrow contained two small fragments of Neolithic pottery and worked flint. A further late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age presence was identified from the recovery of 109 flint artefacts including tools, flakes, cores and debitage. These were mostly residual within the Iron Age deposits. |
