Description

Larger scale excavations (see E609 for trial trenches) …The principal objective was to record a complete plan of the enclosures and all archaeological features within and between them, and by excavating these selectively to investigate the functions of the enclosures and their relations to one another and their immediate environment … However time allowed for only part of the proposed area to be investigated adequately and …specific aims were then pursued. (1) See E609, E610, E611 for further events in this area.
