What is recorded here
On gentle W-facing slope, in low-lying pasture, c. 185m E of the Groody River. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified in 2002 during monitoring (Licence No. 02E1787) in advance of a residential development including private houses, student accommodation and support facilities (Hayes 2003, 4). Topsoil stripping in Field 1 uncovered eight pits and one deposit. Five of the pits contained cremated bone and two pits contained fragments of Bronze Age pottery. These were excavated under the same license in December 2002 (Hayes 2003, 4).
