Full Description
A ditch, tree throw hole and a possible erosion gully were revealed to the southwest of the site. All of the contained Late Neolithic-Bronze Age struck flints; the possible erosion gully also contained a single, small abraided sherd of prehistoric pottery, possibly Beaker.
A very large feature at the south of the site could not be identified positively due to persistent flooding but it is likely to have been caused by erosion, close to the present stream course(1).
