Background to the Gazetteer | Table of Contents

Note that there may be a few slight discrepancies between counts given in the text and the returned results in the gazetteer. This is a result of corrections and amendments (not updates) made to the gazetteer since the research was published in BAR. This does not materially affect the picture presented but does add more detail.

8/700bc-100bc A fort built on Bronze Age occupation areas, and probably founded in the 4th Century BC. On Site A, immediately over the upper layer of debris in the quarry ditch, a possible hut was found, with a hearth, and all over the floor was a mass of human and animal bones, pottery, and charcoal. Human bone was found in a hut post hole, so probably was on the site before the hut was built. Pottery from the occupation layer on Site A was broadly of the Early/Mid Iron Age.
