Abstract: |
Potential archaeological features were found in 14 trenches. In the north-west part of the site two un-urned cremations were found, of which one was excavated and radio-carbon dated to 1130-930 cal BC. The other had a small flint core on its surface. A small pit containing calcined flint-tempered pottery was found in both Trench 5 and Trench 6, and may represent associated activity. An undated small pit in Trench 1 may also have been related. Single small pits containing similar pottery were also found in Trenches 22 and 26 at the south end of the field, and these may be of late Bronze Age or middle Iron Age date. Three possible postholes, none dated, were found in Trench 25 adjacent, and may also have been associated. A north-south aligned ditch containing late medieval ceramic building material was found in Trench 9, and a possible continuation in Trench 13. Undated ditches in Trenches 14 and 21 may represent further boundaries along the east side of the field, parallel to the stream running down the eastern field boundary. Furrows on a NNW-SSE alignment were found in Trenches 4, 5 and 8 at the north end of the field, and that in Trench 8 contained medieval pottery. An undated ditch on the same alignment was also found in Trench 8, and a ditch or furrow on the same alignment in Trench 26 at the south end of the field. |
