Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology was to undertake a programme of archaeological works prior to a golf course development. During the evaluation in June 2007 significant archaeological remains were discovered in the form of a multi palisaded and ditched enclosure measuring 70 m in diameter. The excavation identified the full limits of the enclosure which consisted of an outer palisade, a ditch, two further inner palisades and at least four concentric ringed features all culminating in a substantial entranceway. As well as the enclosure a number of pits and a burnt mound were also found. A 20% sample excavation was undertaken from 26th November until 21st December 2007 in which the full extent of the site was recorded. The area of the site was thereafter covered in terram and landscaped in forming a protective soil buffer over the unexcavated parts of the site and allowing their preservation in situ. |
