Monument record KIR 093 - Late Bronze Age to Iron Age pit and ditch, Medieval pit and undated ditches and pit on Field South of Kirton Sewage Works

Twenty-two trenches were excavated, with archaeological deposits identified in eleven. Cropmarks have previously been recorded in the south-eastern area of site and within the surrounding fields, several ditches were identified which may relate to these, but remain undated. The archaeological features were generally encountered in the central and south-east corner of the site, with the exception of a small undated pit in Trench 1 to the north. Of the twenty-four features, fourteen were ditches, nine were pits and one was a posthole. Only a few finds were recovered, with the majority of the features excavated devoid of datable material. Evidence for prehistoric activity included Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age pottery recovered from a ditch in Trench 12 and several flakes of struck flint recovered from a pit and a posthole. The medieval activity was restricted to a single pit within Trench 15, which contained sherds from a single exceptionally large early Medieval jar/ cooking pot (S1).
