Full Description
PRN 62056
The excavation revealed a multi-period site dating principally to the late Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon periods (see 62057). The Iron Age activity began in the middle or late Iron Age, when two possible round barrows were constructed. Three possible square barrows may also date to this period. These barrows associated with the remains of a late Iron Age settlement, also located during pipeline construction, situated less than 300m to the south. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}
Excavations at TF1052 4553 also revealed Iron Age activity that is thought to be connected with the settlement near Halfmile lane. The site that was uncovered consists of two possible circular structures, a number of boundary ditches and gullies, and several pits. All the dateable evidence suggests two phases of occupation dating exclusively to the late Iron Age. Several sherds of middle Bronze Age were recovered from various contexts, suggesting some pre Iron Age activity. The site was abandoned at the end of the late Iron Age. {7}{8}
