Abstract/Summary

ULAS carried out an archaeological excavation on land to the west of South Meadow Road, Upton. The excavation revealed evidence for a mid to late Iron Age (2nd century BC or early 1st century BC) enclosed settlement, pit alignment, and associated pits and ditches. This was followed by a later arrangement of parallel ditches that may be evidence for possible Roman cultivation trenches.
