Notes about this historic site
1 A group of shallow pits were investigated during a watching brief undertaken in advance of the construction of the filling station at Oversley Mill Services. Flints from the topsoil and within the fill of these features date to the later Mesolithic or the earlier Neolithic. A small scatter of Romano British and Medieval sherds were also recovered from the topsoil.
2 Dating confirmed as Mesolithic.
3 The ‘report’ seems to have gone missing; the only info in the FI File appears to be a site plan and context sheets.
