Full Description
Late Iron Age/Early Romano-British occupation site made up of post-holes, pits and ditches/gullies. Activity appears to have begun around c.75/50 BC and, whilst a small quantity of second century pottery was recovered, could be dated no later than the early first century. Two hundred and thirty eight sherds of "Belgic" and Roman pottery were recovered.
Evidence of periods of LNeo (TQ 75 NW 140) and LBA/EIA (TQ 75 NW 141) activity and occuptation were found in the same area as well.(1)
