Abstract: |
A trenched evaluation was conducted within the area of a proposed farm reservoir on an east to west running ridge of slightly higher ground overlooking Kirton creek to the north. This revealed a high concentration of features within the north-west corner of the site. Some of these are likely to be of prehistoric date, with some features containing pottery of the Early Bronze Age (2,300 - 1,500 BC). Although a hearth and possible structural remains suggest settlement the presence of urn fragments within the pottery assemblage might point to a funerary use of the site. Further excavation has been proposed for this area. Outside the main concentration, some isolated archaeological remains were identified. A pit of Bronze Age date was recognised towards the south-east corner of the site and three sections of ditch, one prehistoric, one medieval and one undated, ran along the site's eastern edge. |
