Description
November-December 2010. Watching brief.
The only dated archaeological feature was a small pit containing a single sherd of Middle Iron Age pottery, which was excavated in the ditch diversion to the south of Spicketts Brook. Although the single sherd of pottery was insufficient to confirm that the pit was of definite Middle Iron Age date, it did at least attest to Middle Iron Age activity in the Basin Road area. <1>
