Monument record 2657/0/13 - Possible Late Iron Age/Early Romano-British Pits, Postholes & Ditch

{1} Occupation of the site continued through from the late Iron Age to the early Romano-British period, with features dateable to this period dispersed across the excavated area.
Elsewhere on the site features dated to this period such as pit groups and ditches, appear to be domestic in nature, with large cordoned and storage jars dominating the identifiable vessels. Most substantial were vessels identified in Pit Groups 46, 47 and 55.
Towards the west of Area 2 was a cluster of pits and postholes (Pit Groups 46-49). No obvious alignments or arrangements were observed, although as elsewhere the features were considerably truncated with only their bases surviving. Demarcating the northern extent of this activity was a short south-west to north-east orientated segment of undated ditch.
Located in the central part of Area 2 was Pit Group 55, comprising an alignment of three small, shallow circular pits. Substantial pottery was recovered which due to sooting, spalling and pitting could all be related to domestic activity.
