What is recorded here
One of two structures (see also DU005-119002-) excavated in advance of road construction (Licence no. 08E053). This structure consisted of a cluster of fifteen postholes forming a roughly circular plan measuring c. 4.5m x 5m. Radiocarbon dating of charred cereal grain from the posthole fills returned a calibrated date of 997-843 BC indicating a late Bronze Age date for the structure (McLoughlin 2009b, 8).
