Abstract: |
The fieldwalking results were limited to a small amount of briquetage relating to nearby saltmaking sites (salterns). The geophysical survey identified a long curvilinear ditch in one area, and several discrete anomalies, including indications of fired material. Two trial trenches, targeted on areas of fired material confirmed the presence of ditches and gullies containing briquetage. The curvilinear ditch was revealed in two other trenches and also appears likely to be related to saltern activity, although it was without finds. The only associated pottery was a single sherd of Roman greyware, but the briquetage, some of which was in large pieces, is similar in form and composition to late Iron Age and Roman material found elsewhere in the region, and the activity is probably all datable to this general period. |
