Full Description

In 1995 an evaluation was done by Wessex Archaeology at the Weatherlees Waste Treatment Works. Nine linear or curvilinear features were noticed. A length of ditch was one of these features noticed, running on a north-west south-east alignment. Of eight sherds recovered from its fill, 4 were assigned the period Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age, c. 2500-1800 BC. Another trench was curvilinear and was suggestive of a possible section of 'drip trench'. A feature similar in shape and nature to the 'drip trench' was found to contain a sherd of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age. Another sherd of Early/Middle Iron Age pottery arose from another linear, but it appears this feature cuts into earlier linear features. Also seen were six pits or post holes, the two largest were probably pits and produced one sherd of pottery and the remainder were smaller producing six of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery.
