Notes about this historic site

1 1965: Mechanical sections were cut across a group of large pits. Before excavation it had been suggested that they were tree pits. The pits actually appeared to be archaeological and possibly of Neolithic date. Ditches, post holes, stake holes and smaller pits were also found in these trenches.
