Bronze Age pits, Burdon Lane

Two pits dated to the Bronze Age were excavated as part of a larger excavation. One contained crumbs of probable prehistoric pottery and three flints, and a charred hazel nutshell gave a radiocarbon date of 2140-1940 cal BC. The other gave a radiocarbon date of 1430-1290 cal BC from a charred barley grain.
Excavation was undertaken in 2021 and post-excavation analysis was undertaken in 2023 (event 5467 report 2023/34).
