A Romano-British enclosure near Rossington, South Yorkshire

Abstract

Abstract Excavations in 2012 and 2014 examined a small sub-square enclosure, associated field system and four adjacent waterholes. A patch of cremated human bone radiocarbon dated to the early–mid-Romano-British period was revealed in the partially silted enclosure ditch; the small quantity of bone recovered may suggest that it was a secondary deposit. A small assemblage of finds including Romano-British pottery was collected. The wider landscape setting of the site is examined.
