Abstract: |
Open area excavation of a single trench which revealed a concentration of pits, some of which almost certainly served for grain storage, dating to the Middle Iron Age and transitional Late Iron Age/Early Roman periods. The pits were notable for the examples of structured deposition recorded in them. This included whole animal burials and the placing of selected body part s in the pits during backfilling. The pits were located in an area defined by linear cuts which may once have been substantial ditches but these only survived as shallow flat-bottomed gullies. The site had previously been evaluated using the site code CJW 09 |
