26 sherds of Late Iron Age pottery in various trenches. 5 from 3 ditches, one from feature, one from fill. Late Iron Age - flint and grog tempered wares and some pieces of LIA2. Fragement of vessel base may date to late Bronze Age. Beligc/Roman or Belgic/early Roman in date. In one ditch 16 sherds from estimated 7 vessels.

Late Iron Age/ Early Roman Belgic ware - 159 Belgic sherds from various trenches. One large pit contained 4 sherds as well as another pit and several ditches. Post holes around ditches, some of these post holes contained elements of charcoal, though this is not thought to represent in situ burning.
