Abstract: |
Residual struck flint of Mesolithic to Late Bronze Age date was recovered, indicating a prehistoric presence in the vicinity of the site. The earliest intact deposits potentially comprised an isolated burial of Bronze Age date, although the possibility remains that it is of a later date and contemporary with an Early/Mid Iron Age phase of occupation. Following this there was considerable evidence for the occupation of the site during the Early/ Middle Iron Age, with evidence of enclosure of the landscape, pits and possible crop production, along with structures, as highlighted by the presence of fired clay within the finds assemblage, the majority of which is considered to represent structural daub. A return to the site was apparent in the 1st century AD, with evidence of a possible post-built structure, further enclosure of the landscape on a very similar alignment to that seen previously, along with evidence for crop production and processing |
