Abstract: |
A trial trench evaluation was carried out consisting of thirteen trenches. A buried soil horizon contained Early Neolithic worked flints and knapping debris. A single prehistoric pit was also identified and contained a range of Bronze Age pottery and struck flint. The main focus across the site was the Roman settlement-related features consisting of boundary and drainage ditches, rubbish pits, clunch walls and possible floor layers/demolition deposits. Pottery recovered from these features date to the 3rd-4th centuries mainly. Clunch walls and the quantity of brick and tile recovered from the features and opus signinum indicate some sort of structure. The north western part of the site had the most Roman features and finds. |
