Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation of land at Stainton Quarry, in Furness, Cumbria. Archaeological features were found in the northern end of a single trench at the east side of the site, while a small quantity of pottery was recovered from subsoil within a second trench at the north end of the site. The remaining trenches contained no archaeological features or finds. The archaeological features comprised remains of part of a building. Three postholes had been excavated into a wider cut, thought to represent terracing into the natural slope to create a level area for construction of the building. One of the postholes contained 10 sherds of early Neolithic pottery and firewaste, which included charred plant remains containing hazelnut shell and cereal grain. The pottery recovered from subsoil at the north of the site was also of early Neolithic date. |
