Description
November 2018. Trial trenching.
Evaluation revealed one pit of possible Iron Age date, which may be related to a significant Iron Age site located to the East which was excavated in 2017 (EHER 49137). Additionally, two possible pits, a possible posthole, and a possible ditch were recorded. No finds were retrieved from these features, which were perhaps of natural origin. A small amount of medieval or post-medieval pottery and ceramic building material (CBM) was recovered from the site and is indicative of at least some degree of activity at the site during this period. <1>
