Interpretation comments M/LIA: 2nd-1st c.s BC, 'working areas' - could be houses, destroyed? Child burial with fence round it. Timber structures AD80-160. One of two 'houses' interpreted as a pen, evidence too limited to collect. Another possible hut excavated in 1930s by Newstead? Environmental data all from later phase.
