Full Description

In 2005 Wessex Archaeology carried out an evaluation on Phase 2, Stage II of the Kingsborough Manor development. Ditches were found crossing the site and were provisionally dated to the Bronze Age. Bronze Age pottery and worked flint were found in some features. (1)

In 2006 Wessex Archaeology carried out an excavation. Two parallel Bronze Age ditches 5m apart were found and are likely to be part of a field system or boundary. Flint-tempered pottery was found in some of the features, probably of late Bronze Age date. Bronze Age pottery was also found in hillwash at the site. (2)
