Abstract

Excavation of a Prehistoric and Romano-British landscape was undertaken in 2006. Although the excavation revealed limited evidence of Neolithic activity, an extensive Bronze Age fieldsystem and related settlement was uncovered, together with an Early Bronze Age ring-ditch and cremation cemetery (36 cremations, 1 central inhumation). Settlement features included a number of post-built roundhouses, 4- and 6-post structures, wells, and an extensive scatter of pits and postholes. Middle Iron Age settlement evidence consisted of 3 enclosures and a open settlement of eaves-gully defined roundhouses and pits. Roman acivity was confinded to a smal number of field boundaries.
