What is recorded here

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 00E0794). Excavation of an area 50m x 40m led to the discovery of two Neolithic Structures (LH021-072---- and LH021-078----), a cobbled surface and c. 40 pits (LH021-079----). One of the Neolithic structures was rectangular in shape (9.2m x 6m). It was represented by three large post holes and an incomplete foundation trench which varied in depth from 0.2m to 0.02m. A second trench just S of the structure may have functioned as a drip-trench. Nothing survived of the interior of the structure. A number of sherds of Neolithic pottery together with both burnt and un-burnt flint flakes were recovered from the trenches.
