Abstract:
Located in the southwestern half of excavation area was a series of natural alluvial deposits, located within what appeared to be a natural depression within the Kempton Park Gravels in this area. This natural alluvium may possibly relate to, or be similar to, the Rockingham anomaly known to be located to the southwest. No prehistoric features were encountered on the site and the only prehistoric finds, consisting of sherds of prehistoric pot and a few struck flints, were found residually in later deposits. Four graves, three containing skeletons one of which lay within a timber coffin, were revealed on site together with a cremation. These burials form part of the Roman southern cemetery previously revealed at several sites in the immediate vicinity. The graves and cremation lay immediately adjacent to the south side of a large ditch. Other Roman features consisted of a number of shallow pits and a gully. Three cattle skeletons of apparent 18th-century date were found within two separate cuts. A similar burial was found to the southwest in 2000 and all may be the results of a cattle epidemic such as rinderpest which was documented in the 18th century. The remaining post-medieval features were dated to the 19th century and consisted largely of wells and rubbish pits, many of which contained assemblages of pottery, glass, clay tobacco pipes and animal bone representing the material culture and rubbish of the inhabitants of the area.
