8/700bc-100bc | An Iron Age enclosure containing pits and other less well defined features. At the base of a small oval pit was the crouched inhumation of an adult, head to NE, on its left side, facing south. More human bones, including large fragments from a second skull, were found in the soil overlying the skeleton. The pottery in the pit was of the same range of 'proto saucepan-pot' types found in the enclosure ditch and dated to 400-300 BC. |
