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.

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.
