Full Description

A 0.32ha excavation targeted two Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age features identified by previous trial-trenching. It revealed a scatter of generally shallow features cut into the sandy substrate: two short lengths of ditch, 14 pits (including the two from the evaluation) and three naturally formed hollows. Dating evidence was sparse, although one pit contained a small assemblage of worked flint of Early Neolithic date and four other pits produced small assemblages of probable Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery. The features had no coherent arrangement to indicate the nature of the activities undertaken at the site during the prehistoric period, other than to suggest small-scale or transient occupation (S1).
