Monument record TQ 77 SE 158 - Possible Late Bronze Age pit, Four Elms Roundabout A289, Frindsbury Extra
Summary
A pit containing probable Late Bronze Age ceramic material was found during work on the new route of the A289. The sherds were identified as of the Devereal-Rimbury type. As the finds were fairly worn they may have been residual in nature. Across the site a quantity of lithic and ceramic material was found, mostly from the topsoil. This was seen as at least indicative of occupation in close proximity, if not on the site itself.
