Monument record 1246/0/1 - Late Neolithic/Bronze Age post holes, Cosgrove Villa

A few late Neolithic or Bronze Age flints and some pottery, perhaps sherds of a beaker, were discovered during the excavation of the Roman buildings. Some of the finds may be assoiated with post holes and gullies.

{1} A good scatter of late Neolithic flints and some small sherds of pottery of probable beaker affinities.

{3} 11 post holes and a small gulley were found. Although only two contained prehistoric material the features are considered contemporary because of the similar nature of their fills and the similar depths at which they were detected. Neolithic pottery was recovered from the fills.
