Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out in advance of gravel extraction and 25-30% of the interior of an Iron Age enclosure was excavated, and pottery dating from the Middle Iron Age to the early Roman period was recovered. Two ring ditches, thought to have represented hut circles, were recorded and a large pit was found. Post-holes dating from the 1st century were noted, but no structures could be postulated because many potential post-holes were left unexcavated. Cremations, apparently dating from the 2nd century AD, were discovered in the upper fills of the boundary ditch. It was concluded that the site had been a low status rural settlement. [AIP] |
