Flixton Quarry (vol. 1)

Author: Stuart Boulter and Penelope Walton Rogers

Excavations at Flixton revealed an extensive multi-period landscape with evidence for prehistoric, Late Iron Age/Early Roman and Early Anglo-Saxon remains. A posthole circle of Late Neolithic date was subsequently overlain by an Early Bronze Age ring ditch and un-urned cremation burial. A second ring ditch nearby became a focus for burial in the Early Anglo-Saxon period. Its central mound was later used as the site of a windmill in the late medieval or early Post-medieval period. The Iron Age/Roman archaeology included an enigmatic palisaded enclosure. Direct dating for it was sparse, but pottery from adjacent pits suggested activity dated around the time of the Roman Conquest. Two Anglo-Saxon burial grounds were identified, both either associated or close to prehistoric barrows, with graves dating from AD c. 500 to the middle of the 7th century.
