Abstract: |
Although located in an area of known late Iron Age occupation, features of this period were restricted to a group of small pits and postholes. The main focus of activity was early Roman, comprising a rectilinear system of boundary ditches, with multiple recuts, dating to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Limited evidence for iron smithing, cereal processing and animal husbandry was recovered. The excavated features were peripheral to a probable focus of occupation lying to the south, beneath an existing industrial unit, where construction workers had noted the presence of numerous features and had collected a substantial quantity of Roman pottery. |
