Abstract:
Excavations of two more areas within the quarry revealed prehistoric occupation. The earliest finds were Mesolithic flints but the earliest features were early Bronze age pits and a waterhole. In the middle Bronze Age, an L-shaped 'enclosure' was dug within whose confines was a post-built rectangular structure, with waterholes and fence lines. In the early Iron Age, a post-build roundhouse was constructed, similar to three others previously excavated on the adjacent part of the quarry. Two bronze torcs in one pit are a notable finds. A programme of radiocarbon dating was only partially successful, only one of the samples providing a date, but this was in line with the expected range for the torcs.
