Iron Age storage pit group, 69 Tiddington Road

Description of this historic site

Two large storage pits were recorded during evaluation at Tiddington Road and a further pit during the subsequent watching brief. They may represent a feature in the agricultural landscape in their own right, or they may be part of a larger nucleus of settlement.

Notes about this historic site

1 Two large storage pits were recorded during evaluation at Tiddington Road. One was a classic example of a later prehistoric storage pit, with an undercutting profile. They may represent a discrete feature in the agricultural landscape in their own right, or they may be part of a larger nucleus of settlement. It is possible that this represents another Iron Age settlement focus from which the later village developed.
