Several pits and a small enclosure, likely used for keeping animals, have also been located within this settlement.
Archaeologists also discovered evidence of an individual thought to be living sometime during the Roman settlement of the wider area, with the remains being found to the north of the double ditched settlement.
Based on the very small ‘grave’ located just outside the settlement area where the individual’s remains were found, archaeologists suggested that the person was not well known to the people who had settled in the area or might have even been criminal due to the quick and impersonal nature of the burial.
All findings – including the human remains – are currently with the archaeologists for cleaning and processing and will ultimately be stored in a local museum.
