Abstract:
An archaeological Excavation expanded upon the results of the evaluation, providing further evidence for the Romano-British settlement and the later prehistoric and Anglo-Saxon activity which bracketed it. Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age settlement was recorded with two short segments of ditch and two small pits. This expanded in the Middle and Late Iron Age with three enclosures and four roundhouses attesting to the growth and establishment of the settlement. The development continued into the Romano-British period with the presence of a probable farmstead, which was serviced by a trackway which branched off Ermine Street across the ridge. The farmstead comprised a series of enclosures representing four different forms of activity; settlement, horticulture, crop processing, and the management of livestock.There was then a hiatus in activity, during the early Anglo-Saxon period when the settlement at Summersfield was abandoned. By the later Anglo-Saxon period, settlement to the north of the excavation encroached into Summersfield and five separate enclosures were recorded. These represented the edges of a settlement which was most likely centred on the church of St. Peter. Subsequently Summersfield became open fields and medieval cultivation was recorded throughout the excavation.
