Full Description
Evaluation trenching revealed an archaeological layer containing Late Iron Age-early Roman transitional type and Roman pottery sherds. Two post holes, one of which contained a sherd of Late Iron Age pottery, and a ditch terminus containing one sherd of Late Iron Age pottery and an assemblage of Neolithic-Early Bronze Age struck and worked flint were recorded. Any archaeology present on the rest of the site has been destroyed by a modern quarry pit, now infilled. Two main, distinct phases of occupation are present, the early Bronze Age to late Iron Age, represented by the post hole and gulley terminus, and the later phase from the late Iron Age to early Roman period, represented by the layer or palaeochannel, although a later date for some of the Roman sherds is possible. The datable finds give an indication of a hiatus of occupation at this location of perhaps several hundred years (S1).
