Full Description

Two small shallow pits, 56 and 242, 0.70m in diameter and less than 0.10m deep, have been ascribed to the middle bronze age period. Each contained the truncated remains of a vessel assigned to the Deverel-Rimbury tradition of the Middle Bronze Age. Both vessels had been placed upright, and only the bases survived. No bones found- therefore probably not burials.(1)
