Notes about this historic site

1 1965: Excavation revealed storage pits of two types – perhaps Neolithic. Aerial photographs show an oval cluster of small pits, over twenty in number. On excavation the basic features were pits – round pits, long pits and two possible gullies. The excavator suggested that the stake holes and gullies represent one irregular oval building and part of a rectangular building. A worked bone and fragment of a quern were found in the area of the possible oval building. No direct dating evidence was found, but the excavators suggested a Neolithic date on the basis of the similarity of the pits and structures to other excavated Neolithic sites.
