Full Description
Ditches and a feature containing Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery, Late Iron Age pottery, cereal remains and worked and burnt flint.
The presence of mussel shells suggests use of marine resources and the arable ecofacts are typical of Iron Age settlement. It is possible that settlement of this date lies within the vicinity of this site (1).
