Monument record TR 15 NW 36 - Early Iron Age settlement
Summary
A Late Bronze Age site at Castle Street. Excavations in 1950 and 1986 suggest the presence of a ditched enclosure. Pottery originally dated to the middle Iron Age has since been re-assessed and assigned to the early 1st millennium BC (Late Bronze Age/Earliest Iron Age). Later material, including Late Iron Age coins, has also been recovered from the site.
