Nevertheless, a small number of representative samples were recovered from a range of features, for comparative purposes. Eight samples were taken from the middle ? late Bronze Age ditches, one of the late Iron Age/early Romano-British ditches, a posthole, and an undated charcoal-filled pit.","A total of 426 pottery sherds was recovered during the excavation, 218 of which derive from two early Romano-British vessels (c.50 ? 200 AD). Apart from these two vessels, which were found in adjacent cuts forming part of a single Romano-British boundary, there were few diagnostic sherds. The evaluation produced 127 sherds, mostly from a single Bronze Age vessel.
A total of 111 pieces of struck flint and five pieces of burnt flint were recovered. The majority of the flint was found in the topsoil, on the stripped surface or within colluvial deposits and erosional features.
A small assemblage of poorly preserved animal bone was recovered from the site.
Two metal artefacts were recovered, including a copper alloy brooch of late Iron Age date, and a copper alloy pin, as yet undated.",Atherfield clay overlain by silts and sand of the Hythe Beds.,,
