What is recorded here
Discovered prior to construction of the M1 motorway (Excavation Licence No. 00E0945). A spread of burnt material (13m x 8.8m) was initially exposed. Removal of this uncovered four pits, the largest of which may have functioned as a trough (2.6m x 1.8m; D 0.6m). A large amount of flint was recovered from the site. (Campbell 2002, 237)
