DURING A WATCHING BRIEF AT ABBEY FARM A COMPLEX NETWORK OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL FEATURES EXTENDING IN ALL DIRECTIONS, AND BEYOND THE EDGE OF THE EXCAVATION, WERE EXPOSED. SOME OF THESE FEATURES CONTAINED POSSIBLE EVIDENCE FOR A STRUCTURAL PURPOSE. THE REGULARITY OF THESE REMAINS SUGGEST THAT THE COMPLEX RELATED TO A PLANNED RB SETTLEMENT. IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN OCCUPIED FROM C1- C4. THE PRESENCE OF A SHERD OF C1 SOUTHERN SPANISH AMPHORA SUGGESTS THAT THE SETTLEMENT MAY HAVE BEEN A HIGH STATUS ONE. THE REMAINS HAVE BEEN PRESERVED IN SITU. {1}{2}, HTM 20M
