Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out in advance of a residential development. Features in the central and western areas of the site dated to the Middle to Late Bronze Age represent an unenclosed occupation site, with several cremation burials together with placed deposits of whole ceramic vessels. In the centre of Area B, a few Iron Age features were also identified, including possibly a trackway. Ditches located in the eastern part of the site contained mostly Late Iron Age to Early Roman pottery. A fair amount of pottery was recovered from the ditches, suggesting the proximity of a settlement, possibly towards the top of the hill in the north-eastern corner of the site. A modest volume of residual flintwork including a tranchet axe and two microliths indicates the presence of a late Mesolithic site. |
