Full Description
Activity dated to the middle Bronze Age was located at the top of the peat sequence, at the interface with the overlying 'upper clay silts'. This comprised a small scatter of 81 worked flints the high proportion of microdebitage and irregular waste in the assemblage implies that it was deposited following a knapping episode. No retouched or utilised pieces were identified. Technologially, the flintwork was probably of Bronze Age dtae. Five sherds of pottery were also recovered from the overlying sediment with a further 44 worked flint and 10 pieces of burint unworked flint. The pottery comprised thick walled rim and body sherds which could be from a single jar or bucket Urn which is likley to have belonged to the Deverel Rimby ceramic tradition.
