Abstract: |
<summary>A second phase of evaluation was undertaken on land proposed for mineral extraction at Besthorpe. Investigation of features identified from aerial photographs and geophysical survey at Cow Pasture found that the site comprised a small, irregular cluster of variably-sized enclosures, probably associated with small rural dwellings of 1st to 4th century AD date. The site seems to have been abandoned at the end of the Roman period. During the Medieval period the site was under ridge and furrow cultivation, but by the time of the Enclosure Award in 1790 virtually all of the land had become pasture, with the present system of road and trackways established at the time of enclosure.
