Full Description
{1} In Trench 34, 150m to the west of the henge the fill of ditch [3405] contained two flint flakes and a few pottery sherds from a vessel with twisted cord decoration, suggesting a date no later than the early Bronze Age and probably, therefore, broadly contemporary with the use of the Cotton Henge.
