Full Description

{1} Cutting the geology towards the centre of the trench was the northern edge of an undated pit. It had a projected diameter of 1.25m and a depth of some 0.3m. At the extreme western end of the trench a curvilinear gully cut another patch of similarly disturbed ground. Its fill contained a single sherd of Roman greyware pottery and two fragments of burned flint.

{2} Trial excavation on land surrounding the important Bronze Age ringwork revealed widely dispersed archaeological features including parts of three possible round houses.
