Description

A Scheduled mound in Quendon Park was surveyed and trial trenched to establish the nature of the site and to evaluate damage caused in 1989 by rutting deer. Excavation revealed the remains of a bonfire containing large quantities of burnt and unburnt hay. The bonfire appears to have lain directly on top of the sand and gravel sub-soil. No traces of any archaeological deposits or features were found.
