Full Description
Substantial pits of Middle Bronze Age/ Late Bronze Age/ earliest Iron Age date, located north of Mock Lane. A cluster of steep-sided pits Was identified in Trench 27 and an isolated pit in Trench 93. These features were dated on the basis of diagnostic pottery groups of the Post Deverel-Rimbury (PDR) tradition (c.1150-600BC) and flint and grog-tempered fabrics broadly attributable to the earliest Iron Age date (c.800-600BC).

One rubbish pit contained a deliberate backfill containing several large possibly Bronze Age loom weights. (2)
