Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at Overburnts during the excavation of a service trench and ground preparations for a concrete base for a new stable within the hillfort, Cholesbury Camp, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. No archaeological features were disturbed during the earthmoving; however two possible hearths, one evidently associated with ironworking, were exposed at the base of the excavation. There were no surviving finds to determine the date of the hearths, but the possibility that they may have been Iron Age in date could not be ruled out. [Au(adp)] |
