What is recorded here

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 93E0098). Excavation revealed a penannular ditch with an opening at the NE (max. diam. c. 10.5m). The width of the ditch varied between 1m and 1.5m and the depth varied between 0.2m and 0.9m. It was filled with cremated bone, slag, pieces of metal artefacts, a bead, sherds of flat-bottomed pottery and flint flakes. These finds together with radiocarbon dates suggest the site was constructed and used during the Iron Age. A platform with postholes was discovered beside it and appeared to be contemporaneous.
