Abstract: |
Monitoring of this site during the construction of a farm reservoir revealed a series of clay extraction pits of likely medieval date. The site was adjacent to an early lane shown on Hodskinson's map of 1783 and it was likely that the dug clay was transported along this route. Of particular interest were two pits containing abundant quantities of Late Neolithic Grooved Ware pottery and flint flakes. This form of pottery, although sometimes found within prehistoric settlement, is often associated with funerary monuments and henges in particular. Roman pottery in the topsoil probably originated from further up the hillside (site RLM 035). |
