Excavation reveals three phases of Roman ditch construction in a low-status farmstead settlement, indicating historical agricultural practices.
Excavation revealed a sequence of Roman enclosure ditches, with several pits. Three phases of ditch construction were identified, with the earliest features comprising a small, partly surviving enclosure of circular plan. This enclosure was replaced in the 2nd century AD by one of rectilinear plan, and this, in turn, by a later Roman curvilinear ditch. Small assemblages of animal bone and plant macrofossils provided limited evidence of farming economy and environment associated with a low-status farmstead settlement.
