What is recorded here

This was the third phase of activity at this site (Excavation Licence 99E0526) and consisted of two large pits that were located approximately 10m to the N of a Neolithic house (LH017-113----) and a Bronze Age furnace (LH017-114----). One pit appeared to be cut by the other and a token deposit of cremated bone was recovered from the later one. A number of flint flakes were recovered from the fill of both pits.
