| Abstract: | Excavations at North Hamilton, Humberstone, have located a ditch system associated with a small settlement. The system is interpreted as a crowdingalley for livestock management and an indicator of large scale animal stock control in the earlier 1st millennium BC, possibly necessitating co-operation between different families or communities on a seasonal basis. Structural evidence includes at least one circular building that had seen some re-building. The pottery from the site was distinct from the more usual Iron Age assemblages in fabric and form, and flint was being used for tooling. | ||
