small area beyond the water main was also investigated (Area B), (Fig. 10).In addition, a large area was stripped by machine on the S embankment of theroundabout following the provisional results of a magnetometer survey undertakenby the Ancient Monuments Laboratory of the DoE (Area C).Several new features were found in Areas A and B, and this, togetherwith re-interpretation of those already discovered, has necessitated renumberingof some of the features described in the earlier report. Laterdisturbance of the site resulted from ridge-and-furrow ploughing, a hedgerowgully, and the insertion of land drains. Nearly all of the features foundwere of Late Iron Age (Belgic) date, probably Clst AD. Only feature 25, ashallow gully, failed to provide any dating evidence whatsoever.Feature 1, 2.5m. wide and lm. deep was exposed <strong>for</strong> a length of 13m. fromits butt. It ran in a SW direction and may have been part of the same enclosureditch (also of Belgic date), a length of which was exposed and plannedduring construction of the roundabout.Features 2 and 3 (gully and ditch found in the 1974-75 excavations) werefound to continue, Feature 2 <strong>for</strong> a total length of 16.0m., when it merged with3, and Feature 3 <strong>for</strong> a total excavated length of 37.0m. Feature 2 probablycontained a palisade fence around the house site represented by circulargullies 5 and 6. Ditch 3 post-dated these features and may have <strong>for</strong>med, withDitch 24, another smaller enclosure.Features 4 and 8 and 26 were only visible in a fragmented state owing tolater disturbance. Gullies 7 and 9 were probably dug <strong>for</strong> drainage, 9possibly being contemporary with circular gullies 5 and 6, while 7 post-datedthese features and gully 10. This feature, which may have contained apalisade fence probably <strong>for</strong>med part of an enclosure system with similargullies 11 and 12. Gullies 15, 16 and 17, probably <strong>for</strong> drainage, seem to havepre-dated these features.Slightly later than these enclosures was one <strong>for</strong>med by a more substantialfeature Ditch 13, which contained concentrations of stone packing, presumably<strong>for</strong> quite large posts. This butted at its N end and may have continued asFeature 14. Within this enclosure was a small, shallow pit (19) and acomplex of features 18, 20, 21, 22 and 23.Feature 18, a long, narrow post pit, may have been associated with thebanana-shaped gully 21, roughly at right angles toit, together <strong>for</strong>ming partof a small structure.Feature 20 was a continuous, roughly circular gully, with a diameter of2.5m. It was later than 21 and may have had a small stone causeway at the E.Within it were two shallow, irregularly shaped pits - 22 and 23. The functionof this small circular structure was not clear; hardly large enough <strong>for</strong> adwelling, it may have been used as a store or workshop.The magnetometer survey of Area C showed several linear features and twovery large anomalies which appeared to be pits. Work is still in progress(December 1977) on the stripped area, which corresponds to a substantial partof the area surveyed, but excavation has already confirmed several of thefeatures shown by the survey, as well as revealing the presence of many more,too small to have registered as anomalies.Features investigated so far include enclosure ditches, a large pit, andseveral gullies, all containing Roman material, and smaller, less distinctfeatures containing Belgic material similar to that from Areas A and B.Work will continue on Area C during the winter, after which the resultsof these excavations and those of 1974-75 will be combined with those of the
