Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological trenching covering an area of 2240.4m2 revealed a previously unidentified geological variation of a ridge of diamict gravel over Gault clay upon which an Early to Middle Iron Age settlement was identified. This comprised of at least two circular gulley-defined dwellings with associated pits over a distribution clearly demarcated by a broken line of bounding ditches. A third structure was identified 25m away from the core settlement upon the Gault clay landfall. An additional Iron Age site represented by a ditch and posthole was also identified, and a ditch-defined trackway may also possibly be attributed to this phase. An extensive Romano-British field system overlay the settlement area and other considerable parts of the proposed development area. |
