Background to the Gazetteer | Table of Contents

Note that there may be a few slight discrepancies between counts given in the text and the returned results in the gazetteer. This is a result of corrections and amendments (not updates) made to the gazetteer since the research was published in BAR. This does not materially affect the picture presented but does add more detail.

8/700bc-100bc Four pits and an inhumation burial were discovered in fieldwork near building work. The pits produced much Early Iron Age pottery, a few flint flakes and animal bones, and evidently belonged to a settlement site judging from the rest of the material found on building spoil heaps, which included similar pottery and loomweights.

Near Pit 4 were found the disturbed remains of a single crouched inhumation burial, and (it is thought) a few sherds of associated Iron Age pottery. The grave was probably a shallow oval pit (damaged by grading work), and belonged to a male c20-25.
