Monument record TR 34 SE 422 - Iron Age Pit (possible quarry), St Margaret's Holiday Park
Summary
Between 1st and 3rd February 2016 an archaeological evaluation was carried out involving the excavation of 5 trenches. A large pit, possibly a quarry was uncovered in Trench 3. The fill of the pit produced a significant quantity of Early Iron Age or Middle Iron Age pottery sherds, undiagnostic worked flints, and fire cracked flint. The exact function of the pit is unclear; it is suggested to be a possible quarry or a waterhole.
