Type and Period (3)

  • RING DITCH (Bronze Age - 2350 BC to 701 BC)
  • ROUND HOUSE (DOMESTIC)? (Bronze Age - 2350 BC to 701 BC)
  • ROUND BARROW? (Bronze Age - 2350 BC to 701 BC)

Description

A penannular ring ditch with deep v-shaped ditch and evidence for post settings within the ditch was discovered during excavations. 2 sherds of Early and Late Bronze Age pottery were recovered from the ditch. There was no central burial and the ditch has therefore been interpreted by the excavators as the remains of a round house rather than a barrow (B12).
