Full Description
In addition to the curvilinear enclosure ditch, trench 3 revealed evidence for occupation features, namely post holes, which may or may not be associated with the enclosure. One additional occupation feature, a gully, appears to pre-date the enclosure, and a post hole appears to post date it. The enclosure ditch circuit appears also to have been preserved / respected when the ditch itself had silted up as there is evidence for a continuous, shallow trench in the excavated section. This may prove to be a fence or palisade slot that replaced the enclosure ditch. Given the find of a sherd of hand made pot and a piece of cremated bone from 0010, it is probable that the finds of BA pot from the "trackway" ditch relate to the occupation activity adjacent to, or within, the curvilinear enclosure. … The rectilinear ditch appears to have measured 3m wide. Up to four phases were visible. Two finds of possible RB pottery just beneath the junction between ((0004) alluvial deposit) and ((0002) ditch fill) may be intrusive. (1)
See L1770 for "trackway" feature.
