Description
The results of the excavations indicate activity primarily dating to the middle to late Iron Age, with activity focused on a series of enclosures. There is limited evidence for an earlier prehistoric presence with lithics recovered from several features. Further assessment of the lithics may provide additional insight into the chronology and nature of this activity. Across the site there was evidence for the impact of later medieval to modern agricultural activities in the truncation of several of the features by a series of north to south furrows. Information from OASIS online report.
