Abstract: |
The watching brief and localised excavations uncovered evidence for human activity (primarily of an agricultural and industrial nature) starting in the Bronze Age and continuing right through to the 20th century. Features of Bronze Age date included a possible droveway and cremation. Other Late prehistoric features included field divisions and suggestions of settlement. Creeks, some of which had been modified to form ditches or dykes, but most significantly an important pottery production site, represented the Roman period. Pottery production (including flagons, lagena and amphora) appeared to have continued from the Late 1st to early 4th century. Despite large amounts of kiln furniture no intact kilns were revealed, though a geophysical survey suggested the presence of several kilns in the immediate vicinity. Sporadic evidence of Anglo-Saxon activity was revealed, though little of later medieval date, however, important remains of 20th century Naval Airship buildings were also uncovered. [Au] |
