Full Description

{1}Iron Age and Roman pottery recovered over area of cropmarks during fieldwalking.Iron Age pottery problematic to date, but Roman pottery mainly middle Roman with less intensive occupation in early and late periods.

{2} Fieldwalking Evidence. Iron Age pottery forms two discrete scatters in and around each group of cropmarks. A concentration of 35 sherds is located within the eastern half of the rectilinear enclosure of 42a and a light scatter covering an area of about 7.5ha along the ridge could form an intensively manured infield. The presence and distribution of the pottery suggest that the settlement had an Iron Age origin.
A distinction between the two adjacent settlements can be traced throughout the Roman period. A concentration containing both early and late Roman pottery is mostly within the eastern part of the rectangular enclosure suggesting continuous settlement. Each site appears to have a halo of Roman pottery, including both early and late material, which merges with the general background of pottery. Further description of the Iron Age and Roman pottery given.
