Abstract: |
An area of approximately 1.2ha was stripped. Radiocarbon dating indicates that residual charcoal of early Bronze Age date had been deposited in a pit alignment, while a single small pit containing burnt debris was also of early Bronze Age date. Major features included part of a pit alignment of probable late Bronze Age/early Iron Age date. A linear boundary ditch and a scatter of postholes and pits define an area of open settlement that included remnants of possible roundhouses and perhaps two four-post structures. A small pottery assemblage may be of early-middle Iron Age date. Furrows of a medieval ridge and furrow field system were also recorded. |
