Abstract:		 In the 3rd century BC a possible watering hole was established for livestock on unenclosed upland pasture. A sinuous ditch partitioned the two sides of the watering hole by the 2nd century BC, forming an axial boundary upon which subsequent developments were aligned. Increased pottery deposition may suggest settlement. In the 1st century BC an enclosure, subdivided by a fence and containing scattered internal pits, lay east of the boundary and the fragmentary remains of two possible roundhouses lay to the west. A pond and a well provided water until the early 1st century AD. Straight boundaries retained the site orientation and replaced the sinuous ditches of the Iron Age from the early 1st century AD, enclosing an area of possible pasture, perhaps for arable farmland. By the late 1st century a palisade enclosure was established and smaller utilitarian enclosures served ancillary agricultural practises nearby. Early Roman domestic occupation may have been present and querns indicated some grinding of seed. Scattered pottery probably accumulated until the late 2nd century and comprised mainly utilitarian jars and bowls in mundane fabrics. Abandonment took place before the mid-3rd century when the land probably reverted to rough grazing.
