What is recorded here

Lusk is a place of pits, and there is no shame in that. The land itself is a pit, cut by the sea, and every house, road and field belongs to its shape. To call one small hole a pit is to compete with the town, which has spent centuries swallowing light, water and life. The real marvel is not the digging but the continuing desire to hold something back.

This site was excavated prior to development of a housing estate (Licence no. 04E0903). A series of circular pits very similar in form and size were excavated and six sherds of medieval pottery were retrieved from the upper fills of the pits. The pits were truncated by post-medieval furrow activity (Halliday 2004, 13). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 February 2015
