One of two Iron Age ring ditches (see also DU007-076001-) excavated in advance of a service station on the M1 near Lusk (Reg. no. E4030). Ring-ditch 2 (13.5m NW – SE x 12m NE – SW) was oval in shape with a W-facing entrance (2.9m wide). Cremated bone was recovered from the fills of ring-ditch 2 but it was identified as animal rather than human. A radiocarbon date of 60 BC–AD 80 was obtained from a charcoal sample (identified as Ash) recovered from the secondary fill (Russell 2009, 23).
