Full Description

Excavation of areas (also referred to as development phases) three and four of the Brisley farm development (from June 2001 to 15 February 2002) revealed features of Bronze Age/Early Iron Age settlement activity, with possible ritualistic uses, with occupation ending in AD 1 or 2. Features included nine ditches, gully (pale grey leached-out uniform fill), forming an area of land clearance involving a possible droveway and enclosure (which is undated), one pit (dated from similar features found at Westhawk Farm and excavation of Christchurch school site) and postholes, although no structures were found.
