What is recorded here

Pre-development monitoring of soil-stripping revealed an area of charcoal-blackened soil with fragments of burnt bone and a shallow gully which ran E-W (L 17.5m, D 0.15m). This contained heat-split fragments of burnt bone associated with 95 sherds of Late Bronze Age coarse vessels representing 5 vessels c. 1200-800 BC (Meenan, R.2008, 121).
