Full Description
Pre 2009? Mesolithic core found in rabbit burrows? Possibly not from this exact location, (S3, S4)
2009: Artefact scatter of Late Neolithic and Bronze Age flint and Late Iron Age to Roman pottery identified in the backfill from rabbit barrows during an archaeological watching brief. Artefacts were found within a 90m by 40m area. These burrows were more than 1m above the floodplain on either a natural scarp or an earthwork. Lithic scatter included a core and a scraper (S1).
2010: Four worked flint pieces comprising a side scraper and three broadly Neolithic debitage flakes, and 11 sherds of Iron Age and Roman pottery were identifed during a watching brief on the construction of a cofferdam. They were found in the backfill of rabbit burrows and mole hill in the same location as the finds from 2009 (S2).
