Abstract: |
It was clear from the results of the final survey that the entire area encompassed by all the sites was extremely complex. Initial excavation after the Phase 1 survey in Areas 1 & 2 indicated an early Neolithic origin lasting though to the Bronze Age for the major ditch system. This conclusion was based on lithic artefact typology, pottery evidence and radiocarbon dating. In the Phase 4 survey, two distinctive linear ditch were detected. Towards the western edge of the transect another large linear ditch was detected together with a very complex, possibly multi-period, mixture of anomalies which may have included buildings and kilns. Numerous pits-like features were also detected, some exhibiting distinctive alignments or associations. [Au(abr)] |
