Description

This group of gullies, pits and post‐holes was excavated in advance of housebuilding. No artefacts were found, suggesting that the remains were related to agricultural rather than settlement activity. Radiocarbon dating of the features returned dates from the Late Mesolithic to the Late Iron Age/early Roman periods.
