What is recorded here

Excavations in 2006 revealed a group of seven postholes and two stakeholes which created a sub-circular arrangement with a central hearth (diam 6m). Sherds of prehistoric pottery of possible Bronze Age date and struck flint were recovered from the postholes (Cocoran, E, 2009, 38). Southwest of the possible prehistoric house site was an inhumation within a ring ditch, to the southwest of which was a burnt mound. North of the prehistoric activity was a ringfort containing a possible house site and two souterrains (Corcoran, 2009).
