Type and Period
Description
March 2014. Archaeological excavation.
Two Early bronze Age pits were excavated, these were probably associated with the nearby ring-ditch (see EHER 7961). A single pit may date to the Middle Bronze Age and may be related to funerary activity identified immediately to the south of the excavation area (see also EHER 7961). A Late Bronze Age pit was also recorded which produced pottery of this date. Two pits which produced Early Iron Age pottery may date to this period or may be natural features. <1>
