Description
Evaluations and excavation, 2021
As is often the case with large rural sites, the earliest evidence for activity is a scattering of Mesolithic and Neolithic flints. These were not found in contemporary cuts, but were residual in later contexts. They represent transient use, but not occupation of the site in those periods. <1>
