What is recorded here

Situated on top of a glacial ridge in undulating countryside. An archaeological complex discovered during soil stripping which consisted of four phases of activity dating from the Iron Age to the post-medieval period. One of the sites uncovered consisted of two burnt pits, oval in plan with regular steep fire-reddened sides, indicating in situ burning.
