Abstract:
Geophysical survey and evaluation trenching between 2003 and 2007 at Mountjoy, on an escarpment 1 km south-east of Durham City, revealed a ditch, bifurcating to form two arms, which possibly represented part of an irregularly shaped enclosure at least 0.75 ha in area. A terminal suggested the presence of an entrance facing south-east. Radiocarbon dates from material in the lowest parts of the ditches and from one of the timbers indicate use in the period 1600-1300 cal BC. The mounment is the first site of its date to be recognised in the region and attests the use in north Britain of large-scale non-domestic enclosure in the middle Bronze Age. After about 1300 cal BC the ditches were not maintained and woodland regeneated over the site.
