Notes about this historic site

1 Undated features, including a large ditch, a small pit containing heat-shattered quartzite pebbles, a gully and post hole were recorded during trial trenching in the vicinity of an Early/Middle Bronze Age pit, Roman defensive ditches and a Roman oven or kiln. It has been suggested that the pit full of heat-cracked pebbles, which is generally a prehistoric phenomenon, and undated gully are part of a wider activity area suggested by the Early/Middle Bronze Age pit. The post hole may have been related to activity associated with the Roman oven/kiln.
