Description

{1} A total of 133 trenches were excavated on land at Upton Lodge following on from earlier geophysical survey. Three enclosures, a surrounding field system and possible pit alignments, all dating from the late Iron Age or early Romano-British period were recorded. A small amount of Saxon pottery was recovered which was broadly 5th to 9th century in date. A possible ‘Grubenhaus’ was also identified in Area N. Other features included relict trackways and a possible as yet undated enclosure in Area R as well as ephemeral features such as relict cultivation furrows and possible trackways.
