1 A series of Iron Age storage pits, of similar form, size and function, were recorded during community excavation at New Place, Stratford. Each of the pits was 1.5-1.6m in diameter and 0.2-0.4m in depth. There was evidence that the pits may once have had clay lining. A fragment of quernstone was recovered from the one of these pits, together with very fragmentary worn ceramics and fire cracked pebbles.
