100bc-AD43 | A Late Iron Age and Roman-British settlement with enclosure ditches, poorly recorded, but indicating burials on the site. 5-6 skeletons were found carelessly buried 'in a row' at the eastern end of a boundary ditch at the eastern end of the site, some lying face downwards, and identified as including males and females, oriented W. This group possibly formed part of a single large grave. Other graves were found elsewhere on the same site. The majority of pottery on the site belongs to the Later Iron Age, suggesting that these burials belong to the same period. |
