Abstract:
Following on from an archaeological evaluation in 2009 an archaeological excavation was carried out. Probable prehistoric activity included an undated ring of postholes, a group of small pits and a large line of postholes, possibly forming a palisade like structure. Roman activity seems to begin in the early 3rd century with a possible field system and animal husbandry indicating agriculture was prevelant. This was replaced by the late 3rd century by chalk quarrying within a large encloure which also contained a roundhouse. During 4th century agriculture seems to have made a return before the site was generally disused during the Saxon period. Medieval features included a series of quarry pits and a possible rectilinear structure. The most notable post medieval activity was the excavation of a large curvilinear feature interpreted as an ornamental lake.
