What is recorded here

This monument was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R117) and test excavation (Licence no. 09E0478) as part of the proposed Metro North development. A cluster of three E-W aligned pits (0.25m – 0.50m diam.) was identified. Each pit contained a charcoal-rich fill with occasional burnt bone. A single find of possible prehistoric pottery with slag or similar material adhering to its interior side was recovered from the topsoil in this area (Frazer 2009, 22).
