Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation and monitoring was undertaken between November 2012 and September 2013. The earliest remains consisted of single pit dated to the Late Bronze Age. No Late Iron Age features were identified although residual pottery was recovered. Roman remains were widespread with boundary features forming several fields and enclosures. Most were poorly dated falling into a broad late 2nd century to earlier 4th century date range. Activity continued in the Saxon period. One ditch may have been of Early Saxon date and by the Middle Saxon period a rectilinear field system had been created. Activity intensified in the Late Saxon period with a large enclosure constructed on slightly higher ground in the west of the site. Within the enclosure were several sub-divisions and there were a number of large pits in the south. Early medieval remains dating to the 12th century were concentrated in the north-west corner of the site. These consisted of a field system with sub-divisions and a wear hollow possibly caused by congregating livestock. Later medieval remains were few. Post-medieval remains included the footings of three early 19th century out buildings associated with the surviving Milton Hall built in 1794. |
