Abstract:		 Several small curvilinear gullies and cremation burials were apparent which, although undated, could have been of Bronze Age date. However, the vast majority of the features found on the excavation proved to be of Iron Age date. Two north-west to south-east aligned parallel ditches and a fence line formed successive boundaries on the north-eastern periphery of the settlement. Several pits and post holes were apparent to the south-west of this boundary. The south-eastern ends of the boundary ditches were cut through by a complex of deep pits. These pits were in turn cut by the ditch of a large enclosure aligned north-west to south-east. Few features were found within the enclosure indicating that it may have defined an area of agricultural land. To the south-west of this enclosure was a series of pits which were in proximity to a large D-shaped enclosure excavated in 1979. However, the area to the south and east of the main Iron Age settlement was generally unsettled and perhaps used for agricultural purposes. A large medieval limestone quarry was also found. [Au]
