Full Description
Excavation on the airfield identified the remains of a burnt mound and in situ lithics scatter that has been dated by pottery and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) to 2790-1980BC. Careful plotting and refitting of the flint debris identified evidence to indicate the actual knapping sites, which also suggests both left and right-handed individuals. Cutting across the prehistoric activity were a series of parallel and right-angled gullies and ditches which have been dated (also by OSL) to 1220-1430AD and probably formed part of Lakenheath warren (S1,S2).
