Description
{1} Trial trench excavation comprising the excavation of 72 trenches confirmed the presence of a continuous-circuit ditched feature identified by the geophysical survey. This is probably an early Bronze Age ring-ditch, although convincing dating evidence was lacking. The evaluation also recorded a previously identified linear ditch to the south of the ring-ditch. Convincing dating evidence was similarly lacking, although this may be a contemporary feature of the early Bronze Age landscape. In addition, an undated cremation burial and a pit containing a charcoal-rich fill and fragments of burnt clay were recorded to the east of the ring-ditch. Three further ditches were also identified.
