Type and Period
Description
March 1979. Watching brief.
Site 2 (this record) was adjacent to the cropmarks of a possible ring ditch complex (TL54-032, EHER 4784) but there is no evidence for direct association. This site was 23m west of site 1 (EHER 4863). Four irregular spaced post holes were found. Their age was not determined but they were clearly early medieval or earlier. No reason why they shouldn't be Bronze Age. Dating doubtful due to lack of finds and direct stratigraphical relationship with the other sites. <1>
