| Abstract: |
The excavation identified three archaeological features, a pit and two large chalk quarries. They were all thought to be Late Bronze Age in origin and appeared to be associated with the nearby Late Bronze Age enclosure, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The pit contained both Late Bronze Age pottery and a fragment of characteristic Late Bronze Age perforated fired clay slab. Small quantities of Late Bronze Age pottery were recovered from the lower fills of one of the quarries. The quarries contained Late Iron Age, Early and late Roman, Saxon and medieval sherds in their upper fills. It was considered possible that the quarries proved the chalk for a revetment on the internal enclosure bank. [Au(abr)] |
