What is recorded here

The site was identified in 1998 during topsoil-stripping during the construction of a gas pipeline as a 7.5m (N-S) by 6m spread of burnt stone and charcoal in a loose, silty clay matrix. It had been truncated by a field drain running north-south through the middle of it. A pit was identified below the eastern portion of the site. It measured 0.95m (SE/NW) by 0.7m and was up to 0.42m deep. The pit was full of a deposit of burnt material that could not be distinguished from the burnt stone spread. A flake of struck flint was recovered (O Neill 2000, 37-9, O'Neill 1999). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Uploaded on: 19 April 2017
