Description
Evaluation in advance of ongoing sand quarrying recorded a range of Bronze Age features including a possible hearth. Three trenches were mechanically excavated within area F. Trenches 1 and 2 were l0m by 3m in area, while Trench 3 initially measured 16m by 3m. The area trenched comprised a 3% sample of the total area of the square. Trench 3 was positioned so as to investigate the geophysical anomaly, and had provision for an extra contingency of 30m2 if nothing had been found in the original trench.
