What is recorded here

Geophysical survey (Licence no. 14R001) and test-excavation (Licence no. 14E007) were undertaken in advance of a residential development. Within the same field to the E is a ring ditch (DU015-119----) and to the NE, an enclosure (DU015-117-----). This monument is a large figure-of-eight enclosure (c. 75m N-S x 50m E-W). The ditches (2m wide x 1.2m deep) contain waterlogged basal fills with well-preserved mollusc and animal bone inclusions. A possible entrance is located to the NW. The S element of the enclosure encompasses internal features including a possible kiln, pits and ditches (Walsh 2014, 11). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 6 February 2015
