The Late Iron Age refers to the final phase of the Iron Age, characterized by significant social, political, and technological changes, particularly in Europe and parts of Asia. It is marked by the emergence of complex societies, increased trade, and the development of distinct cultural identities, often preceding the advent of Roman influence or other major civilizations.

Key research themes

1. What were the technological developments and production variations in iron metallurgy during the Late Iron Age across different regions?

This research theme explores the evolution of iron production methods during the Late Iron Age, encompassing early smelting efforts, bloomery iron smelting techniques, and metallurgical innovations in various geographical contexts. Understanding these developments matters because iron technology underpinned socio-economic transformations, settlement expansion, and cultural identities during this era.

Key finding: The study applied minimally invasive microscopy and spectroscopy to iron artefacts dated to the Bronze Age in central Anatolia, revealing varied carbon contents and microstructures, including iron and steel phases but without conclusive evidence of intentional carburization. This supports the hypothesis that early iron smelting was experimental with uncontrolled furnace conditions rather than systematic steel production, highlighting a technological continuum leading into the Iron Age.

Key finding: Renewed stratigraphic excavations in southern Phoenicia revealed well-stratified Iron Age architectural phases with corresponding ceramic assemblages dated to Iron IIB-C and IIC, implying architectural and occupational continuity. This detailed stratigraphy helps clarify cultural transitions within the Late Iron Age, facilitating refined chronological frameworks in the Levant region.

2. How did mobility, trade networks, and cultural exchanges influence social identities and funerary practices in Late Iron Age societies?

This theme addresses the patterns of human and material mobility during the Late Iron Age, focusing on isotopic evidence of territorial mobility, trade and exchange networks involving imported fine wares and exotic goods, and the cultural significance of burial assemblages including human-animal interments. These investigations reveal social organization, cultural affiliations, and identity negotiations across regions, shedding light on community dynamics during a period of intensified socio-economic interactions.

Key finding: Isotopic analyses (strontium, oxygen, sulfur) of 101 human individuals across various Swiss Late Iron Age contexts revealed spatial heterogeneity in nonlocal individuals, indicating both long- and short-distance mobility influenced by regional political/economic factors. No sex-based residential rules or correlations between geographic origin and funerary treatment were found, suggesting geographic origin had limited social significance compared to sex and status.

Key finding: Comparative analysis of two multiple-burial tombs from geographically separated eastern Adriatic communities revealed both traditional and innovative burial practices. Despite different regional frameworks, funerary rituals integrated long-lasting indigenous elements alongside signs of increased interregional interaction in the 2nd-1st centuries BC, reflecting shifting social identities and cultural exchange during intensified prehistoric connectivity.

3. What insights do bioarchaeological and archaeozoological investigations provide about Late Iron Age social structures, cultural transformations, and human-animal relationships?

This research area focuses on biological anthropological, osteological, and zooarchaeological analyses of Iron Age human and animal remains to reconstruct health, mobility, social status, and symbolic behaviors. By examining burial assemblages and settlements, these studies integrate material culture with biological data to better understand cultural transformations, dietary practices, and ritual roles of humans and animals in Late Iron Age societies.

The present publication is designed to examine an Iron Age pot with incised motive that the Erkel Ferenc Museum acquired in the late 19th or early 20th century. Through the detailed typological and manufacturing technique analysis based on new observations, the object is put into a geographic context. I also emphasize its characteristics that indicate its cultural and possibly religious role. The pot is without context; therefore, in itself has little significance in dating. The shape bears the characteristics of the pottery of the Vekerzug culture; however, the use of this type can be identified up until the late Iron Age. On the neck of the pot from Gyula, four triangular, flat, knob appliqué ornaments were created by its maker, on each of which motifs similar to each other were engraved. Due to their appliqué-nature and recurrence, the motifs can be interpreted as references to the specific community rather than decorations. The marks, to a certain extent, are similar to the Etruscan or Venetian alphabet in terms of shape; yet, in the case of the find from Gyula, due to the lack of the necessary similarities, their interpretation as characters cannot be definitively declared. Also, this question should be addressed with caution in the absence of indications. The present object also reinforces the idea that in the Körös Region, those trade and cultural effects prevailed which characterized the Iron Age. Today's Gyula is located at the eastern part of the region of the Vekerzug culture; therefore, it cannot be ruled out – based on the archeological findings as well as the situation of rivers and former watercourses, water sources, and the nearby drier hills, uplands – that the communities living here or passing through had a role of mediation throughout cultures and groups.

In this paper we present the results of the excavation of a pre-Roman civil structure at the hillfort of Monte Ornedo (Cantabria, Spain). Its morphology, compartmentalisation and, above all, its functionality relate it directly with the saunas of the Hispanic Northwest, from Portugal to Asturias, or with the Irish fulachta fiadh and Atlantic burnt mounds. It is the first sauna documented in ancient Cantabria. Here we present its interpretive structural study and describe the materials found. With these and the radiocarbon determination, we can date this building in the late Iron Age, between the 2nd century BC and the Cantabrian Wars (29-19 BC). En el presente artículo se presenta los resultados de la excavación del Sondeo 3 del yacimiento prerromano de Monte Ornedo (Valdeolea, Cantabria), una estructura cuya compartimentación y funcionalidad parecen relacionarla con una sauna.

This report presents the 2019 excavation, conservation, and territorial survey activities conducted at Adramytteion and its dominion within the Gulf of Edremit. Excavations in the C Sector focused on the C1 church–funerary chapel complex, where stratigraphic and ceramic evidence indicates an intensive burial phase during the 12th–13th centuries CE. Anthropological analysis revealed widespread multiple burial practices and complex depositional patterns. Parallel investigations at the C2 church clarified construction phases and chronological reassessment. In addition, restoration works in Area A and systematic updates of the excavation database were carried out. Field surveys across Ayvalık and neighboring districts further expanded the understanding of prehistoric settlements, defensive systems, rural occupation patterns, and previously undocumented quarry sites.

This article presents and discusses the range of prehistoric archaeological material derived from excavations in the medieval town of Trondheim. The town grew up on Nidarneset, a low-lying peninsula located at the point where the River Nid enters Trondheim Fjord. It became the site of Nidaros kaupang during the 10th century, but recent archaeological finds document the presence of an agrarian settlement since the early Pre-Roman Iron Age at c. 1500 BC. The Iron Age population lived in a natural environment created by combined formation processes throughout the period, including isostatic recovery, alluvial deposition and a landslide which covered part of the peninsula with a thick body of clay. The archaeological material is presented in the context of this dynamic process, demonstrating the close interaction of natural processes and human actors in the formation and use of the landscape. The settlement history is discussed in the wider context of local and regional developments dur...

This paper offers a critical historiographical assessment of Romanian late Iron Age archaeology in post-communist Romania, grounded in the understanding that narratives are constructed within their specific social, political, economic, and ideological contexts. Initially, post-1989 Romanian late Iron Age archaeology exhibited significant historiographical continuity, largely characterised by the élite's strategic conversion of political capital into cultural capital rather than a genuine paradigm shift. However, the mid-1990s witnessed the emergence of new historiographical trajectories: an emphasis on material culture analysis, a nascent deconstructivism challenging established national myths, and a powerful 'nationalist counter-offensive' that continues to shape scholarly and public discourse. The study ultimately reveals a present-day Romanian late Iron Age archaeology oscillating between some critical endeavours and ideologically charged narratives, marked by methodological conservatism, theoretical lacunae, and a notable absence from broader European archaeological metanarratives, reflecting the complex historical, sociopolitical, and ideological forces that continue to shape the writing of the Dacian past.

Das ‚Fürstengrab' von Sinsheim-Dühren, gelegen im Süden des Rhein-Neckar-Kreises in Baden-Württemberg, wurde im November 1865 beim Pflügen durch den Bauern A. Bender südlich der Ortschaft am Waldessaum entdeckt (Abb. 1). 1 Die Funde gelangten bereits im Jahr 1866 in die Großherzogliche Sammlung zu Karlsruhe. 1889 führte Karl Schumacher (1860-1934) eine systematische Nachgrabung am Fundort durch. 2 Von dem Grab fanden sich jedoch keine Spuren mehr. Es zeigte sich nur ein 30 m langer Spitzgraben, der wahrscheinlich zu einer Viereckschanze gehörte. Die Struktur wurde in den 1960er und nochmals in den 2000er Jahren erneut untersucht, wobei aber kein klarer Zusammenhang zwischen der Viereckschanze und dem Prunkgrab gesehen wurde. 3 Das Grab von Sinsheim-Dühren zeichnet sich vor allem durch die Qualität und die Anzahl seiner Beigaben aus. Es gibt für die Mittelund Spätlatènezeit kein direkt vergleichbares Pendant, und mehrere der Grabbeigaben gelten als Unikate. Weiterhin handelt es sich um

Although there are several well preserved Viking boat burials from Norway, until recently palaeoecological research on their context has often been limited. Research on fossil insect remains in particular can provide valuable forensic information even in the absence of an actual body. Here we present archaeoentomological information from a boat burial at Øksnes in Vesterålen, northeast Norway, an area where Norse and Sami traditions overlap. Excavated in 1934, organic preservation from the burial was limited to parts of the boat and a clump of bird feathers which were preserved in the Tromsø University Museum, and from which fossil insects were recovered. The insect assemblage from Øksnes includes the blowfly, Protophormia terraenovae (Rob.-Des.), which indicates exposure of the body and the probable timing of the burial. The high numbers of the human flea, Pulex irritans L. from among the feathers, suggests that these, probably from a pillow under the corpse, originated from within...

A região tem um relevo acentuado, onde as elevações e as depressões de origem tectónica interferem com as formações de erosão -vales encaixados, superfícies de aplainamento incompletas, à mercê das rochas mais brandas. Tudo salpicado por chaminés basálticas, cuja forma, extensões e altitudes são as mais variadas. A Serra de Sintra é a mais alta elevação da região com 519 m, seguindo-se grande número de cabeços, de que se salientam: Monte Abraão, 232 m; Monsanto, 228 m; Alfragide, 210 m; Alto dos Cabelos, 178 m; Manique, 197 m; e Alcoitão, 157 m. estas elevações fazem parte de uma pequena serra denominada Achada, que é uma ramificação da Serra de Sintra, para o lado sul (Ávila e Bolama, 1912, 74). Maioritariamente calcário, o subsolo da região é de origem secundária, do Jurássico Superior e do Cretácico, formado em fundos marinhos profundos. A norte, o batólito de granito da Serra de Sintra, elevou-se há cerca de 70 milhões de anos, no final do Mesozóico, obrigando as rochas do Jurássico Superior a elevarem-se. os magmas que então escaparam das profundezas do manto preencheram as fendas dos calcários dobrados pelas forças tectónicas. dessa época ficaram várias chaminés e pequenos mantos de basalto que cobrem áreas de excelentes solos agrícolas. no Terciário, o mar continuava a cobrir toda a zona. A foz do Tejo espraiava-se por toda a área oriental do concelho de Cascais até lisboa e nos fundos marinhos depositava-se uma nova série de materiais, que deram origem às chamadas aréolas de estefânia, durante o Aquitaniano, e aos calcários de entrecampos, durante o Burdigaliano. o Quaternário encontra-se demarcado por diversos níveis de praias pouco nítidas, no Calabriano (± 150 m) e Siciliano i (± 100 m), em contraste com os vestígios das praias do Siciliano ii (± 60 m) e Tirreniano ii (4-515 m), bem visíveis junto ao litoral. o Tejo tinha a sua foz mais a sul do que a actual, desaguava inicialmente a norte do cabo espichel onde hoje se localiza a lagoa de Albufeira e só mais tarde modificou o curso da foz do seu leito para actual saída. diversas ribeiras atravessam a região, sendo as mais importantes (de nascente para poente): Alcântara,

The development of small-scale kingdoms in the post-Roman world of northwestern Europe is a key stage in the subsequent emergence of medieval states. Recent excavations at Rhynie in north-eastern Scotland have thrown important light on the emergence of one such kingdom, that of the Picts. Enclosures, sculptured 'symbol stones' and long-distance luxury imports identify Rhynie as a place of growing importance during the fifth to sixth centuries AD. Parallels can be drawn with similar processes in southern Scandinavia, where leadership combined roles of ritual and political authority. The excavations at Rhynie and the synthesis of dated Pictish enclosures illustrate the contribution that archaeology can make to the understanding of state formation processes in early medieval Europe.

Doğu Anadolu prehistoryasının az bilinen çok araştırılan kültürel fenomeni olan Kura-Aras kültürü, MÖ IV. Binyılın ikinci yarısında ortaya çıkmış olup MÖ III. Binyıl sonuna kadar Transkafkasya, Levant coğrafyası dışında Çiğdemtepe'nin de içinde bulunduğu Kuzeydoğu Anadolu'ya kadar yayılmıştır. Söz konusu coğrafyalar içerisinde Kura-Aras kültürüne dair araştırma ve yayınların neredeyse hiç yapılmadığı coğrafya maalesef Kuzeydoğu Anadolu içerisinde yer alan Bayburt ilidir. Çünkü 1940'lı yıllarda gerçekleştirilen yüzey araştırmalarında Bayburt coğrafyasında bu kültürün varlığı belirlenmiş olsa da günümüze kadar sadece 1990'lı yıllarda Sagona'nın gerçekleştirdiği Büyüktepe Höyük kazılarıyla yerleşik kayıtları elde edilebilmiştir. Ancak söz konusu kazılar da kültürün ekonomik, kültürel özelliklerini aydınlatmaya yetmemiştir. Bu açıdan bölgenin anahtar yerleşimlerinden birisi olan Çiğdemtepe Höyüğünde, Kura-Aras kültürel fenomenine ait birçok unsurun baskın lokal özellikleriyle bünyesinde barındığının tespit edilmesi oldukça önemlidir. Çiğdemtepe Höyüğünde gerçekleştirdiğimiz kazı çalışmaları sonucunda elde edilen en önemli unsur Kuzeydoğu Anadolu genelinde ilk kez belirlenen, Kura-Aras kültürü ile çağdaş, Orta Anadolu'dan bildiğimiz Black-Topped türü seramiklerin ele geçmiş olmasıdır. Transkafkasya'ya kadar uzanan el yapımı, içi kırmızı, dışı siyah, parlak Kura-Aras seramikleri ile Orta Anadolu'ya kadar uzanan el yapımı, içi siyah, dışı kırmızıdan kahverengiye kadar değişen parlak Black-Topped seramiklerin Çiğdemtepe Höyük'te bir arada ele geçmiş olması bir ilktir. Yerel özellikleri baskın olan, doğuya ve batıya uzanan bu iki kültürel kontrastın bir arada ele geçmiş olması dışında açığa çıkartılan görkemli/anıtsal mimari, diğer taşınabilir küçük buluntular ve stratigrafik detaylar coğrafyanın Geç Kalkolitik Çağ'dan Erken Tunç Çağı'na geçiş ve Erken Tunç Çağı başlarında yaşanan kültürel etkileşimi, dönüşümü ve gelişimi gözler önüne sermesi açısından oldukça önemlidir. Söz konusu arkeolojik kayıtlar Çiğdemtepe Höyüğü'nde 2020 yılında gerçekleştirdiğimiz kazıda ele geçen taşınır, taşınmaz kültür varlıklarına, beraber ele geçen kömürleşmiş ahşap örneklerin yaş analizlerine ve literatür çalışmalarına dayanmaktadır.

Artiklis antakse ülevaade varaste hoburaudsõlgede kui rõivakinnitusvahendite ja ehete tekkimisest ning arengust Euroopas alates eelrooma rauaajast. Nende ehete päritolu, leviku ja dateeringu küsimused on läbi aegade paelunud paljusid uurijaid. Vaadeldakse hoburaudsõlgede senist uurimislugu ja levikut ning tüpoloogia probleeme, näidates, et neil puudub ühtne algallikas. Samuti käsitletakse emailiga sõlgede tausta ja levikut Ida-Euroopas. Eestist leitud 60 varase hoburaudsõle hulgas eristatakse kolme põhilist tüüpi: emailiga, spiraalotstega ja rullotstega hoburaudsõled. Ulatusliku pXRF-analüüsiga asetatakse kõnealused

The article concentrates on the emergence and development of the earliest penannular brooches in Europe, starting from the pre-Roman Iron Age. Questions about their origin, distribution and dating have fascinated researchers for many decades. A survey of research history, distribution and typology of the brooches shows the lack of a single origin for these
dress accessories. Th e article outlines the background of enamelled brooches, along with their development in eastern Europe. Among the 60 early penannular brooches found in Estonia, three main types are distinguished: brooches with enamel, with spiral terminals, and with rolled-up terminals. A comprehensive pXRF survey places these brooches in a wider context among the ornaments used during the Roman Iron Age.

is a seminal figure in British archaeology, recognized for his transformative leadership during the "Big Bang" era of urban redevelopment in the City of London. Over a career spanning more than 50 years, Maloney transitioned from a field excavator to the Principal Archaeological Excavations Officer for the Museum of London, and later to senior executive roles in the private sector. His legacy is defined by three pillars: the development of international standards for archaeological recording, the physical preservation of Roman London's most iconic monuments, and a late-career focus on diversifying the profession through community engagement. 2. Early Life and Educational Foundations (1950-1974) John Maloney was born on April 3, 1950, in Southall, Middlesex, to Irish parents from County Mayo. His entry into the field was serendipitous; while a student at Birmingham University (1969-1972) pursuing a BA (Hons) in Ancient and Medieval History, he was invited to an excavation in Orkney in 1971. Maloney frequently recounts that the combination of intense physical labor and the intellectual puzzle of stratigraphic interpretation "hooked" him. He graduated in 1972, entering the profession just as the "rescue archaeology" movement was emerging to save heritage from postwar urban reconstruction.

Dzhankent is a deserted town of the Early Middle Ages referred to in written sources as the capital of the Turkic Oguz nomads. Located in the Syr-Darya delta, it sits on the intersection of two transcontinental trade routes: the Northern Silk Road, and the north-south corridor linking Khwarazm to the Volga and ultimately the Baltic Sea province. New fieldwork has shown that it was founded in the late 6th century, but was re-built in the late 9th to 10th centuries as a fortified town on the Khwarazmian model. After a floruit which coincided with the ‘silver flow’ of dirhams to the north, it was abandoned by the early 11th century. Chronology, location and details of the evidence suggest that Dzhankent operated as a transhipping port in the north-south slave and luxuries trade.

Les travaux récemment entrepris sur l’oppidum celte de Saint-Blaise ont mis en évidence et confirmé l’importance et l’ancienneté de l’occupation de cette agglomération protohistorique provençale au cours du premier âge du Fer. Nous avons récemment proposé d’y situer la forteresse des Ségobriges, dont l’alliance avec les Grecs, rapportée par plusieurs auteurs antiques, et symbolisée par les noces de Gyptis et de Protis sur le site gaulois, est à l’origine même de la cité phocéenne.
Est ici présentée une approche à la fois historiographique et iconographique de la question. Elle porte d’abord sur l’interprétation, qui a beaucoup évolué dans le temps, que les archéologues ont donnée de l’oppidum de Saint-Blaise dans un environnement marqué par le fait colonial. Ressort la place erronée ou biaisée longtemps donnée par les chercheurs à cet habitat et plus généralement aux sociétés celtiques méridionales impliquées dans ce processus. Elle permet ici d’expliquer et de suivre les aléas et les errements de la longue et vaine quête, à Marseille même ou dans son environnement immédiat, du site de la première rencontre entre Grecs et Gaulois avant la fondation de Marseille.

Dogs and wolves both appear in the art of the Iron Age. It is not always so easy to distinguish them. They seem quite often to play the role of guardian of the Other World, checking in and checking out. As Francisco Marco Simon put it: “The Cerberus from Greek mythology has its correspondences in the Celtic world: Cú Sith, the ‘Dog of the Other World’ in Scotland, [...], the Cwn Annwn, ‘Dogs of Beyond’ in Wales or the ‘Black Dogs’ in the Armorica which drag the dead to the Other World and accompany them when they emerge for a new re-incarnation”. There are also several instances of the wolf appearing amid other animals out at night, such as deer or boar – on the gold bowl from Zürich, for instance –, showing the animal is definitely on the dark side of the Force. On the other hand, we have several scenes showing dogs helping hunters, in particular in hunting boars, another beast on the dark side of the Force. As stated by Francesco Marco Simón, “The role of the boar as an item for luring hunters [or warriors] towards the Beyond is highlighted by various reports”, adding, “in this sense, the boar seems to be the propitiating factor for the initiation and the guide to access the Beyond”. With the dog at the interface.

The Cave of Han, in Han-sur-Lesse (province of Namur), is the result of the River Lesse crossing -underground-
the limestone massif of Boine. The Lesse disappears completely at the Belvaux abyss, and emerges at the Trou de Han. The vast majority of archaeological finds made in the cave come from the dives systematically carried out in the Lesse by
the Centre des Recherches Archéologiques Fluviales, led by Marc Jasinski.
The underwater deposit of the cave are unique in Western Europe, revealing since the 1960s thousands of artifacts from different periods. The oldest could date back to the Late Upper Palaeolithic, but they only became frequent as from the end of the Neolithic. The Late Bronze Age, however, seems to be the best represented period, both in quantity and quality of material. The cave is also visited at different times during the 2nd Iron Age, as well as during the Gallo-Roman period. The most recent occupations of the network, finally, date back to Modern Times, when the population of the surrounding villages found shelter there from the Sun King’s soldiers.
The topography of the site calls for a specific interpretation. There are enough arguments to suggest that it could be interpreted as the entrance to the Underworld, or, possibly, a passage to the Other World. The underwater deposits of the Cave of Han could therefore be funerary deposits. This interpretation seems similar to Walter Torbrügge’s of the deposits of metal objects in rivers, mainly weapons, although the site does not provide the same kind of objects, as weapons are in a minority compared to ornaments. It should be noted that most of the gold ornaments found at the Cave of Han are found elsewhere only in funerary contexts.
It seems clear that both at the end of the Neolithic period and in the Metal ages, the vocation of the Cave of Han was not domestic. It could be a site where the funeral rites were celebrated, probably already at the end of the Neolithic, probably at the end of the Bronze Age, certainly during the Iron Age. But what was deliberately thrown into the river?

We examine in this paper the earliest Iron Age tombs containing a weapon, i.e. a sword, often with its chape. The deposition of a sword in a funerary context (exclusively incinerations) is indeed quite new, but the sole sword does not make the tomb wherein it appears an elite burial. A “Hallstatt elite”, with horses, wagons and drinking gear, will assess itself a few centuries later. As has been stated before, the Gündlingen/Villement swords are quite evidently an evolution of the local Ewart Park swords, with some borderline cases. Sword-bearers, supposedly men, are easy enough to trace, the women of the same society come less to the front. A few recent discoveries (Beerse, Leesten, Overpelt, Uden) show that some women had Northern connections.

In 2023, a Late Hallstatt ritual structure was uncovered and excavated at Sveti Križ, Croatia.
Among the artifacts found in the structure were animal bones, stone tools, spindle whorls, a variety
of metal objects, and numerous fibulae, suggesting connections to Northern Italy and the eastern
Adriatic. Notable finds included a decorated bone featuring zoomorphic motifs, a shark’s tooth
from the Pannonian Sea and one human femur. The structure’s eastern wall was directly adjacent
to the western wall of a forge, where evidence of metallurgical activity was also identified. Organic
residue and zooarchaeological analyses have provided valuable insights into this rare and remark
able Late Hallstatt context, confirming it as a unique Late Hallstatt site in Croatia.

he medieval fortress Ryahovets is located in Northern Bulgaria, about 3 km west of the present-day town of Gorna Oryahovitsa. Excavations were conducted in 1985 – 1991, 1993 and 2015 – 2023. The discovered structures are from the Medieval (11th and 13th centuries) and Roman (3rd – 4th centuries) age. In 2019 – 2021, a structure from the Hellenistic period was discovered. It was found that it is a ditch with defensive functions, closing the most vulnerable approach to the hill. The subject of this article are the eight anepigraphic amphora stamps discovered during the excavations in Ryahovets. There is an attempt for their dating, on one hand based on the coins and ceramics found at the site, and specifically in the Hellenistic ditch, and on the other hand, with their comparison with the known anepigraphic stamps from the territory of Northern Bulgaria and Romania.

In my contribution, I discuss a possible lead disc weight and the first and earliest iron hammer recorded from Wales.
Dinas Dinlle, a bivallate hillfort occupying a low hill overlooking Caernarfon Bay, is suffering from coastal erosion. The defences on its western side and part of the interior have been lost, and it is estimated that the fort will be entirely lost within 500 years. Because of this threat, since the mid-1990s the fort has been the subject of numerous studies and investigations. Geophysical surveys revealed roundhouses, walls, enclosures and other structures arranged around trackways and paths in the fort's interior. Windblown sand covers the fort's interior, defences and external areas; this started to form in the prehistoric period and continues to accumulate. Following an evaluation in 2019, two area excavations were carried out in 2021 and 2022. Part of a small stone-built roundhouse, c. 6.4m diameter internally, possibly of Late Iron Age date, was excavated in Trench 2. It fell into disuse and was infilled with a midden deposit in the late first/early second century AD. A larger stone-built roundhouse, externally 13.6m diameter, internally 8.6m diameter, was completely excavated in Trench 1. It may have originated in the latest Iron Age, but more likely in the Romano-British period, with occupation continuing into at least the late third century AD and abandonment probably in the early fourth century. An assemblage of Roman pottery, copper alloy artefacts, iron tools and fittings, quernstones and environmental remains were found, all indicative of the domestic nature of the site. There was no evidence for post-Roman occupation of the fort.
