| Abstract: |
Three ring-ditches of Bronze Age date were excavated ahead of the area being developed as a research park. The paucity of archaeological material, barring the features themselves, restricted attempts at interpretation. The primary activity was the construction, probably during the Middle Bronze Age, of the ring-ditches. If they were not constructed contiguously, then they were built fairly rapidly one after another given that each retains its own "space". Upon falling into disuse, the site eventually was turned to agricultural use, possibly in the Iron Age-Roman period, but certainly by medieval times. [Au(abr)] |
