Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on part of the playing field at Hartismere High School in advance of the development of a new sports pitch. The 200m of trenching identified a spread of archaeological features, predominantly in the centre and north-east of the site, relating to a main phase of Roman activity. A finds assemblage contained Roman pottery of early and late date, a range of metal finds, chiefly late Roman coins, and ceramic building material suggesting a structure was located in the vicinity. Earlier Neolithic and Bronze Age material indicated a more limited amount of earlier activity on the site. This activity clearly relates to the recently excavated multi-period site, EYE 083, which lies immediately to the south, although there is a distinct contrast between the Roman nature of this site and the predominant phase of Early Anglo-Saxon occupation seen at EYE 083. Recommendations therefore have been made for the full excavation of the site with a view to including the results of both evaluation and excavation within the future EYE 083 publication. |
