Summary

Possible evidence for tanning

Protected Status/Designation

  • None recorded

Map

Type and Period (1)

  • TANNING PIT? (Prehistoric - 500000 BC to 42 AD)

Description

It would seem that the evidence and specialist advice is that all find and features are of a similar date and associated with the same activity (tanning) and that this activity was removed form the immediate vicinity of habitation. Of great significance is the suggestion that this area at this time was regularly grazed and that this with the activity maybe indicating more or less continuous occupation. An important matter not resolved is the relationship between the suggestions here for occupation and activity in say BC 2742 Neolithic and the barrows immediately adjacent, suggested by form only as being early Bronze Age. If it transpired that these were associated with the same period of occupation, then this site becomes of major importance (B19).
