Abstract: |
Sparse features were found dating to the early to middle Iron Age (5th-century BC to early 1st-century BC) over a c100 by 50 metre area. These features included small gullies and a singular pit and this low density of remains may suggest intermittent activity had taken place within the site. A farmstead was established in the early to mid1st-century AD. It comprised a late Iron Age/early Roman boundary ditch, a rectangular stock corral area, a midden-like organic layer, a pit cluster group and some small discrete features. In the mid1st-century to 2nd-century AD a possible metalled routeway, with fields laid perpendicular to it, was identified towards the eastern limit of the excavation. A roundhouse with associated discrete features was located at the heart of the settlement, focused within the northern perimeter of the site adjacent to the east of the routeway. A series of isolated pits were also present. In the 2nd-century to 3rd/4th-century AD a substantial sub-rectangular enclosure was constructed within a well-defined area in north-east corner of the site. Within the enclosure were pits along with a large midden layer but no structures were observed. Medieval furrows were recorded across the site. |
