Monument record 4611/0/20 - Late Bronze Age to early Iron Age settlement

A cluster of pits and postholes denoting short term settlement

{1} A cluster of pits and postholes to the east probably derive from an episode of short-term occupation within the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age. The largest pottery assemblage, 310g, came from an isolated pit to the north and included a vessel with fingertip impressions on the shoulder, a feature characteristic of the late Bronze Age into early Iron Age, and a vessel with a handle or lug. To the south, there was a possible four-post structure, with a rectangular plan, measuring 1.9m east to west by 1.4m north to south. Alder charcoal from one of the pits has given a date at the end of the early Iron Age (535-395Cal BC, 2380+/-30 BP, Beta-402867).
