Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Report covering the 2nd and 3rd season of fieldwork to evaluate and interpret the earthwork survey and geophysical survey anomalies, re-interpret excavations carried out by Stapleton in 1908 and asses the threat from burrowing animals, livestock and vegetation. Three trenches were excavated with the first located on a probable house platform detected on the geophysical survey and a possible roundhouse that is yet to be confirmed by excavation with a spindle whorl found within the vicinity along with probably prehistoric heavily abraded pottery. The second trench investigated three large anomalies but the excavation proved inconclusive in terms of whether these were related to the Iron Age occupation of the hillfort and could be tree throws. A likely pit may relate to Iron Age activity based on its morphology. Trench three in the southern flat area of the hillfort investigated cut features which relate to the construction of the ramparts indicating that phase 1 was constructed entirely from dry-stone using shale pieces with large flat pieces used to create a vertical rear face. The excavation suggests that phase 2 of the rampart was constructed from a series of horizontal layers and that the upper layers collapsed inwards. Inside the rampart a shallow ditch probably provided much of the material for the rampart but it is not clear which phase it belongs to. Au/SH | |||||||||||||
