Monument record TR 26 NE 1042 - Bronze Age-Iron Age settlement, near Nether Hale Farm, St. Nicholas at Wade parish

Summary

A large rectilinear cropmark enclosure near Nether Hale Farm was previously identifed from aerial photographs. During excavations at this location in 1979 a double ditched enclosure dating to the 10th to 15th centuries was revealed (see TR 26 NE 74). The remains of shallow ditches dating to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age were found below this. The features were dated based on the discovery of Deverel-Rimbury type pottery within their fill. The site has been interpreted as a settlement or possibly a farmstead.Traces of this enclosure and further associated enclosures to the west have been mapped from aerial photographs.
