Description
2011. Trial trenching.
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of the construction of a replacement dwelling and garage. The development site is located 30m west of a 2011 excavation interpreted as the southeastern side of a late Iron Age to Roman enclosure, probably surrounding a rural farmstead, with an external track or droveway. This evaluation revealed late Iron Age and Roman pits, postholes, and a ditch all probably associated with the occupation of the farmstead. <1>
