| Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out on a site with high potential for prehistoric remains. Sites and finds dating from the Palaeolithic to the Roman period had been recorded in the surrounding area, and some later remains were also known. Six trenches were excavated, and nearly 1400 struck flints were recovered. The bulk of the material dated from the Late Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age. Charcoal from a small pit was radiocarbon dated to 1730-1360 BC. Later evidence consisted of some Roman and medieval pottery and a possibly medieval linear trench. [AIP] |
