Abstract:
Trial trench evaluation. of 18 trenches excavated the majority contained no archaeological features. However, the evaluation confirmed the presence of a late Bronze Age enclosure ditch that was identified in the 1980s in the location of the Great Manor Farm Shop. This particular enclosure had been interpreted as a Bronze Age Ringwork, a distinctive form of circular enclosure of bank and external ditch located on hilltops or spurs specifically in the east of the country overlooking river valleys. The evaluation identified no settlement activity external to the enclosure. The presence of a small ring ditch, undated but potentially contemporary with the settlement enclosure, was confirmed in the north-western part of the site. The remainder of archaeological finds and features was of low significance, being represented by two field boundaries, potentially of Roman and medieval date respectively, but continuing into the post-medieval period, an undated posthole and an assemblage of Roman, medieval and post-medieval brick and tile, representative of material spread through manuring.
