Abstract: |
Sediments from the site are examined, described, and selectively analysed for pollen content, with a view to assessing whether detailed analytical work is needed before the proposed cleaning of the moat. Results indicate that there may have been some dredging in the past and only the very basal layers are original. These contain an unusual juxtaposition of cereal and heather pollens, suggesting either crop processing on site, or deliberate soil improvement which enabled the planting of cereals on previously acid land. |
