Full Description
During the archaeological investigation of the land north and south of Cottington Road ahead of the redevelopment of the site, a variety of archaeological features finds and deposits were recorded. These included a series of linear features possibly forming part of the same field system revealed during the excavations to the north of Cottington Road, as well as a large Late Iron Age circular-shaped enclosure. The south site also revealed a possible timber post-built structure, and an Early-Mid Iron Age penannular-shaped drip gully, situated within the north-eastern corner of the site. A group discrete features, including a series of large refuse pits, rich in burnt flint deposits and food waste, are also associated with the Early-Mid Iron Age phase of activity. (information summarised from interim report, further detail will be added when the site has been fully processed and reported) (1)
