Romano-British settlement at Upper Spring Farm, Bishop's Itchington
A series of enclosures, first recorded through geophysical survey, were subsequently evaluated by trial trenching. The trenching recorded a series of structures, pits, gullies and boundary features related to a Romano-British farmstead.
1 A series of enclosures, first recorded through geophysical survey, were subsequently evaluated by trial trenching. The trenching recorded a series of structures, pits, gullies and boundary features related to a Romano-British farmstead. Excavations recorded a stone surface overlying a multiphased set of enclosure ditches. A possible timber structure was also recorded, and a series of semicircular pits and gullies. Pottery dated all features to between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. The bone assemblage and the environmental assemblage both suggest agricultural activity of a type traditionally seen on rural agricultural settlement of this period.
