Full Description

A cluster of enclosures attached to the brickwork plan field systems was sampled. Three phases of occupation were identified. In phase I the enclosure was defined by a substantial ditch and large pits were dug; in II a timber building within its own yard was constructed inside the enclosure; in III the enclosure ditch was replaced by a palisade, the area partitioned, and at least three timber buildings erected within the new divisions. Pottery from late C1 BC - mid C1 AD came from phase II and C2-C3 pottery came from phase III. The charred wooden remains of a box with iron fittings were recovered. Few bones survived in the acidic subsoil, but the charred plant remains of both cleaned domestic crops and animal fodder were found. (1)
