What is recorded here

One of two structures (see also DU005-119001-) excavated in advance of road construction (Licence no. 08E053). This structure consisted of a concentration of seventeen substantial postholes forming a sub-rectangular structure measuring c. 5.5m NW-SE by c. 8.5, SW/NE. A sandstone hammerstone was recovered from the fill of a posthole. Radiocarbon dating of a sample of alder and hazel charcoal from the posthole fills returned a calibrated date of 978-831 BC indicating a late Bronze Age date for the structure (McLoughlin 2009b, 11).
