Abstract: |
One hundred and sixty-nine trial trenches were excavated, fifty-five of which contained archaeological evidence. The earliest phases of activity recorded consisted of prehistoric pits and linear ditches, from which Neolithic pottery and worked flint were recovered. A substantial mid-to-late Romano British farmstead/settlement was located. Twenty-two evaluation trenches appeared to be located within the possible nucleus of the settlement which revealed linear ditches, domestic and quarry pits, possible structural evidence and occupational deposits overlain by aeolian drift sands. Truncation by intensive farming was evident throughout. [Au(abr)] |
