Monument record 7217/0/1 - Undated Post Holes, Pineham

During archaeological excavation a line of stone-packed postholes was aligned across the grain of the Iron Age/Romano-British settlement and the ridge and furrow, on a north to south alignment.

{1} The majority of the archaeological features could be dated, either from artefactual evidence, feature type, stratigraphic relationships or by association with other features. However, there were a number of features, predominantly pits and postholes, which could not be dated, although it is likely, given the history of the site, that they relate to the period of settlement from the late Iron Age to the 4th century AD. The exception to this was a line of stone-packed postholes running across the grain of the settlement and the ridge and furrow, on a north to south alignment. They post-dated the Romano-British settlement but it was not certain if they pre- or postdated the ridge and furrow.
