Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations comprising trench evaluation and open area excavation was carried out in advance of a residential development. The excavation revealed the truncated remains of a post built roundhouse, comprising a central support surrounded by an inner ring of posts set within a fragmented ring gully. A group of postholes on the southeast side appeared to represent a possible entrance or porch structure. A cremation burial in a pit may be associated with the entrance and bone from the cremation was dated by radiocarbon method to 1398 to 1220 cal BC. There were no other finds and the roundhouse is probably Middle Bronze Age in date. |
