Abstract:		 H 743837. The occupation site, which was covered by blanket peat and surrounded by deep mire, was subjected to stratigraphical investigation, pollen analysis and 14C dating to relate its occupation to the environmental history of the area. A series of 14C measurements for the mire was used to establish a deposition rate curve from which a timescale for the vegetational history was derived. The palaeoecological sequence starts c 8000 BC when organic material began to accumulate in the deep mire; the first archaeological record is at about 3200 BC with Neo burning for forest clearance and the erection of a house. Some centuries of clearance with minor regeneration periods followed, and different types of agriculture may have been used; there was total forest recovery, but with a different composition, before a new Beaker clearance took place at 2000 BC. Two centuries later heath began to form, especially following Bronze Age clearance of scrub at about 1650 BC on the deposition rate curve. This cycle of regeneration and clearance continued until the open landscape of AD 1500 (drc).
