Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation at Plot N revealed the western side of the Springfield Lyons Early Saxon cemetery. Twenty three cremation burials were excavated along with a further two possible cremation burials. Also investigated was a pit dated to the Early Bronze Age. This pre-dated the construction of the nearby Late Bronze Age circular enclosure and its associated settlement. Two ditches forming part of a field system, probably contemporary with this settlement, were investigated along with a pit that contained a crushed near-complete pottery vessel. Four ditches forming part of a probable Roman field system were also identified along with a single Late Saxon field boundary ditch. No medieval or post-medieval remains were encountered. The route of the large WW2 anti-tank ditch was traced across the whole site and three Iron rails were observed that may have formed part of a dismantled wartime obstacle. |
