Monument record BRD 202 - Iron Age ditches possibly forming an enclosure and possible buildings

The monitoring of excavations for a multi- use games area uncovered a number of features, the majority of which are thought to be prehistoric in date. Several ditches were excavated when the water table was much lower, which would be consistent with a date in the Iron Age or earlier. Two of these appear to form the corner of a larger enclosure and are dated to the 3rd - 1st centuries BC based on finds of pottery and flint. Two short curving gullies may be evidence of buildings. Environmental samples suggest barley and spelt wheat were cultivated (1). A number of undated feature were also identified.
