Abstract: |
Seventy-two evaluation trenches were excavated at the site to a cumulative length of 1440m providing a 7% sample of the evaluated area. Archaeological deposits, including ditches, gullies, pits and post holes, were identified and recorded in thirty-one of the trenches. Material ranging in date from the Mesolithic to the post-medieval period was encountered. The earliest ceramic assemblages were dated to the Middle to Late Iron Age but the majority of pottery was from the Late Iron Age to the Early Romano-British era. There was also evidence of later Romano-British, possible Anglo-Saxon, and medieval activity. there was some indication of post-medieval occupation known from cartographic sources. [Au] |
