Anglo-Saxon settlement at Rayford Caravan Park, Tiddington Road
A number of gullies, likely related to successive boundary features, were recorded in excavation in the Avon flood plain. They contained large amounts of pottery, and are interpreted as drainage features.
1 A number of gullies, likely related to successive boundary features, were recorded in excavation in the Avon flood plain. They contained large amounts of pottery, and are interpreted as drainage features. This area is notorious for flooding and these features are therefore unlikely to be related to permanent settlement. Seasonal activity, such as animal breeding is offered as a possible interpretation.
2 Anglo-Saxon activity at 117-123 Tiddlington Road may suggest two close but separate foci, an extremely rare occurrence implying a more sophisticated settlement pattern than was previously suspected.
