Abstract: |
The evaluation, consisting of the detailed plotting of aerial photographs, detailed evaluation excavations and rapid excavation of apparently blank areas was undertaken. Cropmarks were interpreted as ditches of rectilinear field-systems, double-ditched boundaries and a cluster of curvilinear features possibly forming a number of enclosures. Pottery in these features gave a range of dates from prehistoric, to Conquest period, through to Romano-British. Features interpreted as pits and post holes were excavated in trenches 1, 2 and 3, and similar, unexcavated features recorded in plan in trenches 4, 6, 7, and 8 were suggestive of settlement and other activities. Artefacts suggested that at least some of these features were Romano-British in date. There was a wide spread of fire-cracked pebbles, which were often found in later prehistoric and early historic settlement contexts. [Au(abr)] |
