14/1300bc-8/700bc | Ditches 1, 2, 3 and 4 (the earliest phase excavated) contained domestic debris of animal bone, layers of sea-shells (mostly mussels and clams), potsherds of Late Bronze Age type and human skeletal material. The ditches belonged to an unidentifiable structure, possibly an Early Iron Age farming enclosure. Pit 1 (of the same phase) was a shallow and roughly circular depression in the chalk c3.5m x 0.4m deep. It was filled with burnt and worked flint, and potsherds typical of which was a fragment of a Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age bucket urn. |
