Monument record 6766/0/13 - Iron Age Rubbish Pit

{1} The other trenches contained low-level archaeological activity, with a severely truncated rubbish pit in T.5, which contained a relatively large assemblage of Iron Age pottery.
The correlation between the aerial photographic, geophysical and excavation evidence in the field was variable. The anomalies were not always detected in the evaluation trenches, which may indicate that they were a product of the natural geology. The evaluation confirmed that the network of linear anomalies detected on the aerial photographs were not associated with human activity.
T5 contained a severely truncated rubbish pit. This pit lay immediately below the plough-soil and survived to a depth of only 0.11m. A relatively large assemblage of un-diagnostic Iron Age pottery was recovered from its dark fill.
