What is recorded here

Pre-development monitoring in 2004 revealed archaeological features which were excavated late in 2004 and early 2005 (04E0209Ext). This revealed a u-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 10m) which enclosed a single pit and was defined by three curvilinear ditches, pits, spreads and possible slot-trenches. The main body of ditch activity was radiocarbon dated to 660-860AD while the pit was dated to the Early Bronze Age (Baker, 2006).
