Full Description
In 2003 a small excavation was carried out to the rear of no. 258 Anzio Crescent, following the discovery of a layer of flints at the bottom of newly dug fencepost holes. In total 32 struck flakes, 12 worked flakes, 8 calcined flints and 22 pieces of pot were found. The small size of the area investigated prevented a more detailed picture being gained of the nature of the activity on the site but it seems likely that flint knapping and possible cooking activities were occurring in the area. The pottery suggests an Iron Age date for this activity. (1, 2)
