Abstract: <summary>Excavation in advance of gravel extraction revealed continuous settlement from the Iron Age to the mid Saxon period. Neolithic features were cut by Iron Age round houses and associated features. These in turn were superseded by several phases of Roman occupation, with buildings, burials and kilns revealed. At least two phases of Saxon settlement, including a metal-working workshop, were also evident. Environmental assessment located a nearby palaeochannel from which samples were taken. {italon}AIP{italoff}
