Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An area of 1.1ha was mechanically stripped and archaeological features hand excavated. The archaeological recording action revealed a low volume of archaeological features. Eight pits formed a small cluster, with one outlier to the south and a notable lack of features in the whole remaining area of the site, with the exception of two small, undated pits by the western limit of the area. The pit cluster contained a surprisingly dense group and range of finds and two radiocarbon dates confirm that it represents a relatively short-lived use of the site in the 8th or 7th century BC. An especially concentrated deposit of pottery vessels in particular suggests the filling of the pits was the result of feasting. As is often observed, there were no associated structural remains to indicate permanent settlement and it may be that some symbolic occasion was being celebrated in a one-off event.
