Monument record TR 03 NW 12 - Iron Age/Romano British site and palaeolithic / Mesolithic/ Neolithic flints

Summary

An Iron Age and Romano-British site was first identified alongside some Mesolithic and Neolithic remains during a watching brief and field walking in 1992. Large quantities of late Iron Age (possibly Belgic) pottery of 75 BC - 125 AD date and Mesolithic/Neolithic worked flints were found. During archaeological investigations in 1993 gullies (land boundaries) and ditches, and finds consisting of late Iron Age/Romano-British pottery dating from 100 BC- 250 AD were discovered as well as flint flakes, iron slag, daub, animal bone and a medieval land drain. Further evidence of the existence of Romano-British buildings was found with the discovery of marble and sandstone building materials.
