Full Description
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by ROCAS in November 2013 along the route of a new track between an existing pot ale lagoon and Dykeside Farm. The southern end of the track crossed an area previously excavated by NMS (NJ25NW0024), and a small spread of features was revealed in this area, some of which had been previously excavated. No archaeological features or artefacts were recorded along the rest of the new route. The site of the pot ale lagoon, developed in 2011, was stripped under archaeological supervision given the close proximity to the multi-period settlement. A scatter of features were revealed including a small post-ring roundhouse, a blacksmith's pit and an unlined corn drying kiln.
