Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed six fairly narrow, shallow ditches which continued across the site in a number of trenches. Orientated mostly north-west to south-east and north-east to south-west, these ditches are thought to be part of a field system. A single sherd of shell-tempered pottery of Roman date, was recovered from an excavated slot through one of these ditches in Trench 32. These ditches may represent an outlying field system dating to the Roman period associated with a Roman farmstead recorded during an evaluation of the Bicton Windfarm site 350m to the south-west carried out by Oxford Archaeology East during 2010. The investigation also revealed parallel furrows surviving in every trench on a north-east to south-west orientation. These were previously identified on an aerial photographic survey carried out in 2007 for a desk-based assessment by OA East in advance of an Anglian Water Pipeline. A single sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from the surface of one of these furrows; the furrows were recorded as truncating the ditches in two separate locations. Other than drains, fired munitions and fragments of metal, no evidence of the airfield was encountered. |
