Abstract: |
A second phase of trial-trenching was carried out in the north-east corner, completing the evaluation of the site. Five trenches were investigated. Archaeological features were recorded in five of the eight trenches.
A number of postholes in Trench 38 defined the northern periphery of a larger cluster of postholes and pits identified during the first evaluation phase (in Trenches 20 and 30) and tentatively interpreted as the remains of Middle Iron Age settlement activity, potentially constituting a farmstead. A similar date was also suggested for a north/south orientated ditch in Trench 34.
A small cluster of postholes in Trench 31 was tentatively dated to the Late Iron Age/Early Roman period.
A large pit containing domestic debris of early Anglo-Saxon date was identified in the far north-east corner of the site (Trench 36) and may indicate settlement activity alongside the Pannel’s Brook watercourse. |
