Notes about this historic site

1 A group of large post holes indicated the presence of a large circular structure (F38), which had, unfortunately, been cut by a recent machine trench on its W side. No other features were seen in association with this building. Associated coarse handmade pottery probably indicates that this is an Iron Age round house.
