Abstract: |
Publication report for Roxwell Quarry site.
Archaeological rescue excavation in advance of mineral extraction at Roxwell Quarry
revealed multiphase landscape remains. The earliest remains are sparse, but indicate that
Late Bronze Age and Middle Iron Age domestic activity and settlement was taking place
within the vicinity. The majority of archaeological features comprised two phases of
enclosure, dating to the mid 1st century BC to mid 1st century AD and the mid 1st century
AD respectively. A Late Iron Age / Early Roman cremation burial, containing three grog-tempered
jars, a set of tweezers and a copper-alloy bracelet was also found. A small group of
13th century pits, ditches and pot sherds, and post-medieval to modern field ditches and
trackway constitute post-Roman period land use.
