Description
{1} Cotswold Archaeological Trust commissioned by John Samuels Consultants. A total of 40 trenches were excavated. Those excavated in Enclosure Complexes 1-4 confirmed the results of the geophysical survey. In addition, the pottery recovered from Enclosure Complexes 1 and 2 indicates that they were of at least two phases, namely mid-late Iron Age and early Romano-British. Enclosure Complexes 3 and 4 appeared to be solely of mid-late Iron Age date. Three of the Enclosure Complexes were aligned alongside ditched trackways and all are probably small-scale agricultural settlements. Very few archaeological features were found within potential Saxon Sites 1 and 2, although it is possible that any archaeological signs of occupation lie outside of the area targeted for evaluation. Project No: 712.
