Monument record WTM 103 - OUTLINE RECORD:Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age ditches and pits on Land At Howards Close, Mellis Road, Wortham (BRIT) EVAL EXC

Across the evaluation 10 sections were excavated through 8 features. All the excavated features were linear ditches or gullies. The only dating evidence recovered dated to the late Bronze Age to early Iron Age. The features on the site likely relate to the site directly located to the south (WTM 044) where evidence of Iron Age agricultural activity was found (S2).

Land at Howards Close (TM/0877; WTM103). Excavation revealed activity of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age date and consists of two ditches and two pits. The ditches appear to form a boundary line in the S area of the site and likely indicate a purposeful land division. The pits are likely common domestic waste pits located close to the edge of settlement activity, the centre of which appears to have been located to the S (S1).
