Full Description
From the report:
"There was some evidence of Prehistoric activity on the site in the form of worked flints that were found residual in later features. There was Romano-British occupation from the Late Iron Age until the middle of the second century AD. The peak was in the middle years of the first century AD and declined quickly after c AD 120. The main activity was two ditched enclosures, one with substantial ditches. Buildings included a circular hut, a masonry building and two aisled buildings with large postholes. There was also evidence of iron working and a kiln.
Post-Roman activity on site was limited to a large stone building of 19th century date.
All the stratigraphic records have been analysed for this report and all the finds have been assessed. It is recommended the results of the excavation should be made public in the form of a report in a local journal. Further work, which will require analysis, is highlighted."
