Monument record SKT 141 - OUTLINE RECORD: Bronze Age pit and medieval to post medieval boundary ditch. Gateway 14 (MOLA) EVL

An evaluation identified 3 features. An isolated pit, elliptical in plan, contained densely packed burnt flint pieces and 2 sherds of possible Bronze Age pottery. Similar to a pit found in a nearby evaluations to the NW (ASE 2014), it is reminiscent of features associated with burnt mounds. A medieval to post-medieval boundary ditch was located in the S part of the central portion of site which seems to have been a long-lived boundary (S1).

As well as several field boundary ditches, recorded across the entire area and dating to both the medieval and post-medieval periods, a number of features from different periods were recorded. These included a ring ditch, which may have been associated with the prehistoric pot/pit recorded at the end of 2021. Other prehistoric features are believed to be present but have yet to be verified with the results from finds processing. Structural elements dating possibly to either the medieval or earlier post-medieval period included a stone-filled post pad associated with possible beam slots and three postholes, a large spread of cobbles set across an area prone to flooding and a group of pits, ditches and postholes forming likely building components (S2).
