Monument record 730 - Prehistoric & Romano-British Settlement

An extensive area of cropmarks comprising enclosures and ditches and probably dating to the prehistoric or Roman period. Archaeological investigation in part of the area has confirmed the date of the settlement.

{1} Number of features of possible archaeological origin; most probably of geological origin;

{3} Geophysical survey of the north-western part of the cropmark area identified a number of archaeological anomalies relating to a prehistoric or Romano-British settlement. Rectangular and circular enclosures, as well as a number of pits are all likely to relate to the settlement activity.

{4} Trial trenching of the field adjacent to Mill Lane found evidence of a probable Iron Age roundhouse/enclosure ditch and associated features in the western part of the field and Romano-British features, including part of a field system, possible trackway and other features to the east. Both areas of activity are probably peripheral to the main areas to the east.
