What is recorded here

In 1999, archaeological monitoring (Licence No. 99E0569) of topsoil-stripping associated with the Prosperous Sewerage Scheme revealed a small but distinct area of burning, irregular in plan with rounded corners (dims. L 1.74m NW-SE; Wth 1.14m; D 0.13m); the probable truncated remains of a fire-pit. A sample of the fill was sent for wood analysis, after which it was to be submitted for radiocarbon dating.
