| Abstract: | The upcoming construction of a housing estate on the northern edge of Willington led to a programme of trial trenching, followed by two small areas of archaeological excavation. One area contained the heavily truncated remains of a hengi-form ceremonial monument, defined by two concentric ring ditches with a grave at the centre. Little evidence was found to date the monument, but it remained a focus of activity until at least the Middle Bronze Age from its origin in the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. The other area was focused on a single ring ditch: the ditch itself was essentially undated, but a nearby cluster of pits contained pottery and loom weights dating to the Late Bronze Age. | ||
