Description
February 2013. Trial trenching.
The evaluation revealed colluvial deposits which contained prehistoric and early Roman pottery and struck flint. The pottery sherds are small and abraded. Three pieces of struck flint were recovered and are possibly of earlier Neolithic date and possibly derived from the same core. The basal colluvial layer contained a sherd of prehistoric pottery, probably Bronze Age but possibly Neolithic. Two undated features, a ditch and a stakehole were revealed in one trench (Trench 7). <1>
