Abstract: |
There was evidence of Neolithic activity in the area, but it was not until the Late Bronze Age that the site was permanently occupied. The near entirety of a defended enclosure and settlement was revealed, showing two broad phases. It was initially delineated by shallow gullies with a formalised entrance to the northwest and a series of linear features to the southeast marking a further boundary zone or entrance. Posthole arrangements show the settlement to have comprised roundhouses and four-post structures. Subsequently, a large defensive enclosure ditch was dug around the settlement, again with a formal approach from southeast and northwest entrances. |
