What is recorded here

On a level landscape. It was identified in monitoring (03E1374) a road project in 2003 (Gannon 2004, 7, sites 8) and completely excavated (04E0375) (Carroll 2007a). This is a rectangular pit (dims 4m x 1.1m; D 0.3m) containing charred organic material, which provided a C14 date of AD 650-870, with a fire-reddened clay edge. It may be part of a corn-drying kiln. A working area (dims c. 7m x c. 4m) just to the E had shallow ditches and was covered in fragments of baked clay. When excavated the pit proved to have been re-cut once. The excavated feature (RO007-099002-) is c. 100m to the W. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
