Description
August-September 1992. Archaeological excavation.
Two features, a pit and a gulley produced Early Iron Age pottery (18 sherds, 60g). The individual sherds are small and abraded and may well be residual. However, as no finds of other periods were recovered from these features they have been assigned an Iron Age date. The evidence of peripheral activity for this period may be associated with the Early Iron Age settlement recorded at Beacon Green (EHER 8028) nearby. <1>
