Full Description

The archaeological monitoring work identified evidence of prehistoric agricultural and
domestic activities, in the form of three pits, two displaying evidence of burning. The
earliest activity at the site dates to the broader Neolithic and earlier Bronze Age, and the
latest phases of the site extend to the Late Iron Age. The presence of possible spelt
wheat, emmer and hazelnut shells in the pit fills indicates that agricultural and domestic
activities were taking place on the site (S1).
