Description
{1} The settlement at The Lodge had its origin in the earlier middle Iron Age as a single roundhouse and enclosure forming a small outlier on the southern margin of the DIRFT complex of Iron Age settlements, expanding through the middle Iron Age. The settlement was re-established on higher ground to the south either shortly before or after the Roman Conquest and was set within a complex pattern of minor boundary ditches. There were few pretensions to a Romanised lifestyle. Settlement continued, albeit in a contracted form, until the second half of the 4th century. An early Anglo-Saxon sunken-featured building and a pit were the latest features on site.
