Description
A borehole survey comprising of six boreholes was undertaken with two cores recovered for assessment. The boreholes were located in relation to evaluation trenches that being excavated at the same time. The survey demonstrated that a thin deposit of peat was retained in small areas of the site. These deposits were selected for assessment and radiocarbon dating. The micro and macrofossil assemblages have demonstrated an initial freshwater peat sequence dating from the Late Neolithic which was incised by a small channel (S1).
