Full Description
PRN 46736
An archaeological watching brief on the route of a gas pipeline development discovered a small site south-west of Langton Hill Farm. Probably of late Iron Age or early Roman date, it consisted of a possible enclosure ditch with a small group of other features including two pits with charcoal-rich fills and two postholes. The small quantity of pottery found suggests that the site was peripheral to an area of human activity during the late Iron Age or early Roman periods. Three ditches may have formed part of the boundary of this area. The pits provide the only evidence of the kind of activity which was taking place; the presence of abundant charcoal and in situ burning suggesting perhaps some type of minor industrial or domestic use. Apart from the two isolated postholes, the was no evidence for ant structural remains. Any associated settlement must presumably have been located beyond the confines of the pipeline easement.{1}{2}
