Description

An excavation took place in 1994, which consisted of an open area approximately 30x100m and four trenches 35m x 4m. The main area produced three large linear ditches, a sub-circular enclosure ditch, which contained a posthole structre with a possible hearth, and a number of isolated pits and posthole features. The material recovered was mainly flint, grog or sand-tempered Iron Age pottery, with some later Iron Age 'Belgic' pottery
