Full Description
Romano-British features comprising eight ditches / gullies (one curvilinear in form), six pits and possble post holes were discovered on the gravel terrace. Artefacts included slag suggestive of smithing, while the quantities of pottery found indicated activity from C1 to C4. Notably features further back on the terrace in 06a were of C1 - C2, compared to those in 03a of C2 - C3, and up to C4 in 03b, suggesting some movement between phases of activity. Together this evidence suggests the presence of a similar multiphased ditched enclosure complex to that in site B. The extent of the site is unclear from the geophysical survey. Excavation revealed deposits to stretch at least 60m to the W of the palaeochannel and at least 30m N - S. The presence of heat affected stone from fieldwalking suggests an associated field system may have lain further back on the gravel terrace. … Each site situated on the edge of the gravel terrace possessed waterlogged deposits containing dumped Romano-British material running into the palaeochannel / floodplain.
