Description
Archaeological evaluation (multiple trenches). Started 7th October 2014, anticipated to go on for between 2 - 3 weeks. 4 fields were evaluated with 50 trenches opened. Trench location was determined by the results of a previous geophysical survey. Significant remains of a moderately sized, early Romano-British enclosure were uncovered in the fourth field which appears to have occupied the site of a small late Iron Age settlement. Possible late Romano-British agricultural activity was also recorded as well as 19th century ironstone quarries.
