Abstract: |
Two area excavations were carried out within the area of a quarry concession, following an evaluation undertaken in 1992 and more recent field-walking and test-pitting. The excavations were positioned to investigate two possible crop-marked ring-ditches and a curvilinear gully in Area C of the site, and Iron Age features within Area D. Three phases of datable activity were identified. Phase 1 was represented by a pit containing four flint flakes and four sherds of Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age pottery. Phase 2 was represented within Area C by the crop-marked gully, two pits and a possible pit. One pit contained Mid-Late Iron Age pottery. Within Area D, pits, gullies and post holes were recorded within and outside a rectangular ditched barrow or enclosure; one of the internal pits contained fragments of quernstone. Phase 3 was represented by three ditches of possible Romano-British date. [AIP] |
