Description
{1} In November 1983 a short programme of trial trenching was carried out to ascertain the state of preservation, depth of stratification and probable date range of the earthworks, and to assess the value of the site. Five trenches, each 20m long x 1.75m wide, were sited to reveal the nature of the remains whilst avoiding severe damage to the apparent building platforms. Three of these trenches were later absorbed into the main excavation area, whilst the other two lay to the east. [Only the two eastern trenches have been mapped.]
