| Summary: | Evaluation and excavation in area of land c. 1.2 ha, designated for housing. 500 features and 1000 contexts were recorded: a few finds of residual Mesolithic and Early and Middle Neolithic finds, the earliest datable features were six Beaker Period/Early Bronze Age barrows. There are a number of 11th century BC enclosures and other features. A mortuary feature spans the period between the 10th and 3rd/4th centuries BC and had preserved bone. A group of ditches and pits belong to the Late Iron Age and there was a early Roman ditch. There appears to be no other occupation until the Early Anglo-Saxon period when a cemetery was established. Of the same period were 74 pits containing large quantities of marine shell. |
