Description
November-December 2017. Archaeological excavation.
Middle Iron Age land use was represented by a cluster of short curving ditches/gullies and pits/postholes found to the South of the earlier boundaries and an isolated pit elsewhere. The clustered remains may constitute a structure, but the group is probably best viewed as an activity area – potentially involving both crop processing and metalworking. Two contexts also produced unidentified burnt bone. <1>
