What is recorded here
Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence 99E0485). Two large pits were uncovered in close proximity to a ringfort (LH012-065001-) and Man-made underground passage (LH012-065002-). One was sub-circular in shape (max. diam. 1.10m; D 1.10m) and interpreted as a refuse pit. Finds recovered included a broken blue glass armlet, animal bone and industrial slag. The second pit was keyhole shaped (max. diam. 3.50m; D .90m) and contained a small quantity of animal bone. The excavator suggests that this pit may be interpreted as an unused corn-drying kiln.
