Iron Age and Roman settlement in the Upper Thames Valley - David Miles

The Cotswold Water Park Project is a landscape study centred
upon parts of the Upper Thames Valley within what is now the
Cotswold Water Park. The report is based upon four key excavated
rural settlements, the most extensive being that at Claydon Pike,
which dated primarily from the middle Iron Age to the late Roman
period. A number of middle Saxon burials were also found. The
other Water Park settlements dated to the late Iron Age-Roman
period and the 2nd to 3rd century AD. The report has incorporated
the results of these excavations into a wider synthesis of
landscape development in the region, including aspects of
material culture, environment and the economy.
