Description
The Site, which is allocated for residential development, was the subject of a geophysical survey in March 2018. The survey identified a localised cluster of curvilinear and rectilinear anomalies in the north-west of the site, which was interpreted as evidence of a probable Iron Age/Romano-British farmstead. In addition, the survey found traces of agricultural trends and former post-medieval/modern field boundaries within the east of the Site.
It was agreed to investigate, by means of a strip, map and sample excavation, a 1400 m2 area focussed on the probable farmstead. This work revealed a co-axial field system with a dominant north-west to south-east aligned boundary, two ring ditches, various small isolated features and a group of north-east to south-west furrows. Other than the furrows, the archaeological remains appear to be of wholly Mid–Late Iron Age date.
