Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological excavation along the route of the proposed new A379 link road. The excavation confirmed the presence of a substantial enclosure, first identified by aerial photographs, and dated it to the Bronze Age. Within it a single hut circle was recorded, this was a large structure with a double ring of postholes. Possible contemporary structures were also noted external to the enclosure. A major Bronze Age land boundary was recorded following the topography of the area with an entrance way aligned on the enclosure. |
