14/1300bc-8/700bc | Lying at a depth of 3.3m on the gravel bed of a canal cutting excavation was a brachycephalic human skull, probably of a child, accompanied by a small hand moulded pottery cup. Many pieces of wood like stakes lay around, and the remains of red deer, bos longifrons and primigenius, horse and many mollusca. The report suggested that the site was a lakeside settlement. [Peake 1931 dates it as Late Bronze Age]. |
