Full Description
{1} A single shallow pit or possible ditch ending was encountered within Trench 40. The pit contained a single homogeneous fill that produced a neatly worked flint end scraper of late Neolithic date. A single sherd of pottery was also recovered from the fill and recorded as being of Iron Age origin. However, this is a nondiagnostic body sherd and may have an earlier origin in light of the provenance and distance from the Iron Age settlement. A single core trimming flake was also recovered from the fill of a furrow that truncated the pit.
