Prehistoric features at Trisail Towers (EHER 46767)

Neolithic or Bronze Age flints and a Bronze Age or Iron Age structure were found during the 2008 trial trenching. The 2012 open area excavation identified pit sequences and an enclosure of late Iron Age Date.

2008. Trial trenching. Neolithic or Bronze Age flints and a Bronze Age or Iron Age structure were found. A small palaeo-channel was recorded running through the development area. There was a high density of largely undated features including pits, ditches and post holes. <1> <2> 2012. Excavation. The majority of the identified features were of a late Bronze Age date and they were generally dispersed pits and postholes. On the western limit of the excavation, a late Bronze Age ditch was identified with a parallel posthole line of a similar date. These appear to have formed an enclosure which may have extended beyond the western limit of the excavation. <3>
