Description
This group of features comprising an irregularly shaped pit possibly used for charcoal production and radiocarbon dated to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, and two sub-rectangular timber structures interpreted as isolated agricultural or ancillary buildings and a linear north-south boundary feature radiocarbon dated to the Late Iron Age or Early Romano-British period, represent intermittent use of an isolated site in the later prehistoric period for various agricultural activities. Further archaeological fieldwork is intended to take place to the north west and this may inform the interpretation of this group of features.
