Abstract: |
The excavation comprised seven area strips that were targeted at features found during an evaluation. The majority of features revealed were linear in nature and probably represent one or more field systems. Some of the linear features contained postmedieval artefacts and others corresponded with boundaries depicted on 19th-century maps. The majority of the features were technically undated but are also thought to be of postmedieval date due to similarities with the dated examples. Levelled medieval/post-medieval furrows were episodically encountered in the excavation areas. Roman finds and artefacts from the excavation phase of the project were exclusively recovered from Area G, which corresponds with the main findings of the evaluation. The deposits comprised a shallow hollow or cluster of intercutting pits containing at its latest 2nd-3rd century AD pottery along with an L-shaped ditch, probably part of a rectangular enclosure. Residual Roman pottery was also recovered from nearby post-medieval features. |
