Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief and excavation was carried out at Went Edge Quarry in advance of aggregate extraction. The archaeological investigations have confirmed the results of the geophysical survey locating part of two ditched enclosures in the north-west corner of the site, and a segmented linear ditch to the south. The absence of any artefactual evidence together with the lack of internal features suggests the enclosure was probably located some distance from any settlement activity and that its primary function was for livestock control. |
