Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July 2017 at Land Adjacent to the Village Hall, East Hagbourne, Oxfordshire. Seven trenches were excavated. Evidence of residual Neolithic activity in the form of a small number of flint flakes and two flint arrowheads, found as residual finds in later features. These finds were indicative of the site being used for seasonal activity by transient groups. The main phase of activity consisted of a single probable enclosure ditch and a number of internal pits of an Early Iron Age date. These features correspond with the results of the geophysical survey and indicate the presence of an enclosure, which extended beyond the eastern boundary of the site. The artefacts and environmental information recovered the site suggests the presence of domestic activity in close proximity to the site and the enclosure may have represented part of larger Early Iron Age settlement. |
