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.

100bc-AD43 A settlement site with a distinct pre-Belgic phase was also occupied in the Late Iron Age, and to this period is probably dated a cremation in a small pit beneath the crushed remains of an incomplete pottery vessel at the south foot of Wall 9a. The remains are probably those of a young male, and among them were fragments of animal bones of which only an unburnt molar of sheep was identifiable.
