Full Description
Detailed excavation revealed hitherto unsuspected Early IA occupation consisting of post holes and gullies. Late IA occupation was suggested by several sherds of pottery from the pipe-line trench. The Early IA finds are important because of the quality of the pottery. The small bird brooch is a unique and very important find. Could the Ro temple have been founded on the site of an earlier native shrine, as is so often the case ? (1)
