Abstract:		 Excavation in 2003 revealed a large ditch cut into the sandstone. The ditch appeared to run roughly south-west to north-east and was between 4m and 5.5m wide. This ditch may represent elements of an inner, defensive ditch surrounding the west end of the hilltop at Mellor. Also revealed was the eastern half of the curving gullies found in previous years of excavation. Together these formed an almost complete circle some 11m in diameter. It seemed fairly certain that these gullies represented the drainage system around an Iron Age roundhouse. An area of highly eroded sandstone to the south of the gullies produced a large number of flint flakes dating from the Mesolithic period. [Au(abr)]
