Type and Period
Description
August-September 2008. Trial trenching.
Two zones of heightened archaeological activity were recorded during the evaluation with concentrations of features in both the north-east (Zone 1) and south-west corners (Zone 2) of the site. The archaeology of both areas was characterised by linear features dating to the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age (Zone 1) and the Middle Bronze Age and Middle/Late Iron Age (Zone 2) and may represent a degree of land division and activity associated with the water management and drainage of the Site. <1>
