| Abstract: |
Prior to 1995 only a single possible example of a Neolithic causewayed enclosure was known at Bryn Celli Wen, Anglesey, which was discovered during excavations in 1990. In 1995 and 1996 the Royal Commission aerial reconnaissance identified two further potential examples in the Vale of Glamorgan. The first, at Corntown, comprises an unusual multi-ditched enclosure which correlates with an exceptionally large early Neolithic flint scatter collected during fieldwalking. The second at Norton, Ogmore, is a more conventional causewayed enclosure in appearance but has yet to be closely dated despite being subjected to a gradiometer survey, fieldwalking and trial excavation. Since late 1990 two other causewayed enclosures discovered during aerial reconnaissance have been confirmed by excavation at Banc Du, Pembrokeshire and more recently at Womaston. The paper concludes with a brief description of other potential causewayed enclosures in Wales. Au/SH |
