Description
DURING EVALUATION A SINGLE PIT (F126) FOUND IN TRENCH D220, SITED ON MARGINS OF THE PEAT FILLED CHANNEL. A NUMBER OF UNDATED ISOLATED POSTHOLES(?) WERE FOUND IN THE VICINITY OF THE RING DITCH BUT ARE DIFFICULT TO INTERPRET (B7).
Central pit inside possible Neolithic ring-ditch had been particllay cut away in evaluation without being recognised.
