HER 5471 - Iron Age settlement enclosures and fieldsystem, Runfold Farm
Archaeological evaluation by SCAU of the first phase of this mineral site revealed numerous archaeological features. The majority of these dated to the Iron Age; the presence of a number of ring gullies suggests that this was a settlement site, similar to those found nearby at Tongham Nurseries, excavated in 1993. This evaluation also revealed some Early Roman material. Subsequent evaluation to the east of this area (centred SU 873 485) revealed no features or finds of archaeological interest, presumably because the area is more low lying and therefore less attractive for settlement.
