Abstract:
An area of 6680 sq m was stripped to expose deposits of Neolithic, Middle to Late Iron Age, and possibly Anglo-Saxon occupation. The Neolithic evidence was scarce, mostly consisting of a few dispersed pits. This occupation was probably much disturbed by later phases as Neolithic pottery was commonly found mixed with later assemblages and features. Initially determined to be of Late Bronze Age during the evaluation phase, but revised as Iron Age, there was probably an initial early occupation with a post-built roundhouse and some curvilinear gullies. This unenclosed settlement was masked by a more substantial phase, consisting mostly of pens/paddocks and some enclosures. The main enclosure, extending towards the school grounds was left almost empty and probably had livestock management purpose. In a possibly later stage, clusters of pits (a total of about 175) developed in and out of this enclosure. Other peculiar features were noted: a low stone platform encircled by a gully and three pits with a clay base in the bottom and fills that differed from the usual infill. One of them had a stone lining. There was no trace of any Roman activity and if the pottery and features have been identified correctly, there could have been an Anglo-Saxon presence in the form of two Sunken Featured Buildings and a few pits.
