| Abstract: |
An area between two souterrains contained several occupation phases separated by hillwash. In early 1st millennium BC ard tillage was followed by a round house and earth bank, more tillage, and the construction and firing of a post-structure. Hill-wash accumulated, and later in the millennium settlement was re-established on the hillwash surface, only to be covered in its turn. Two postmed buildings were also seen. There were quantities of pottery in ten fabrics and three main styles, and carbonized plant materials including cereal; a peat column from 2km away is also reported. Several phases were 14C-dated. |
