100bc-AD43 A ring ditch probably of Bronze Age origin from the evidence of silting and Beaker sherd fragment on the ditch bottom. In the south west quadrant was a small oval pit c0.9m long x 0.9m deep in the filling against the outer slope of the ditch. The pit contained very soft black soil, biggish lumps of hawthorn charcoal, many tiny scraps of burnt human bone and most of a bowl of burnished black Belgic ware, broken before burial.
