Description
The late Bronze Age activity consisted of potential boundary ditches and a variety of pits and postholes, most of which were widely spaced but some of which were organised in to loose clusters. At least one of which is potentially representative of a structure. Environmental sampling has revealed a pattern of carbonised plant remains that are quite typical of the period. Structure 6306, a dense cluster of 68 pits and postholes, although limited structural configuration to this group of features. It is notable that the north-western and south-eastern extents were marked by intercutting groups of pits with smaller postholes occuring in the intervening area (B5-6).
