Summary
Three excavation areas were targeted in 2020 after trial trenching. A small amount of residual finds in later or otherwise undated features, comprising worked flint of broadly Mesolithic and Neolithic to early Bronze Age date, attest to a limited, and presumably transient, presence in the valley landscape prior to the middle Bronze Age.
