Full Description
A trial trenching evaluation was carried out by Alder Archaeology in October 2020 ahead of proposed development. Six trenches were excavated but the only a single truncated pit was recorded, situated on the western edge of the development area. It contained charcoal and pebbles but no finds were recovered. Its date and function are not clear, but it may be of the same date as features found to the southeast (NO35SE0113) in 2016. A sample from the pit gave a radiocarbon date of 1886 - 1700 BC.
Period Notes
Radiocarbon dating sample from the pit SUERC-97567 (GU57245), 3484 +/- 26 BP, calibrated to 1886 - 1700 BC at 2 sigma.
