What is recorded here

Visible on aerial photographs (OS 1, 3323-2), and situated on a shelf on the slight N-facing slope of a ridge. Subrectangular grass-covered area (dims 7.8m E-W; 3.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth. 2.2-3.8m; H 0.1-0.3m). There is an entrance (Wth. 3m) at SSE. Archaeological excavation (08E0007) recovered only a short section of a ditch (L 1.1m; Wth 0.3-0.55m; D 0.14m) and evidence of seven post-holes leading the excavator to suggest that it may have been a ritual rather than domestic site (Tierney 2011). One piece of struck flint was recovered from topsoil (Tierney 2008) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 20th June 2011 Amended: 29 January 2020
