Type and Period

Description

March 2021. Trial trenching. There was evidence for later Iron Age activity on the site in the form of two undated ditches in Trenches 19 and 20 that possibly pre-date a later Roman ditch system. <1> July 2021. Archaeological excavation. Three areas (Areas 21-23) were excavated to further investigate archaeological remains that had been encountered during an evaluation of the site. A total of nine postholes, twelve pits and a tree throw were recorded in Area 23, none of which could be dated. Further detailed analysis may enable some of these features to be assigned to a period. A post-medieval finds assemblage consisting mainly of brick and tile was recovered from unstratified and intrusive contexts. <2>
