Full Description
Wallace's Field lies 800m WSW of the Stanway burial enclosures, where excavations in 1988-96 revealed rich late Iron Age and early Roman burials.
A watching brief was maintained during topsoil-stripping prior to mineral extraction. A number of prehsitoric flints and Roman posherds, and a single prehistoric potsherd, were recorded in unstratified positions. Five feature were also recorded, all of them charcoally features lying directly beneath the topsoil. They are undated, but it is very liikely that they were created by the recent burning and removal of trees.
