The numbers of later prehistoric artefacts recovered from fieldwalking is small, and widely distributed over the fields. Fields 16, 8, 9, 11 and 12 contained significant amounts of late Neo / early BA tools and debitage. This could have belonged to one broad occupation horizon. There are hints of earlier Neo material in fields 11 and 14. The overall impression is of palimpsest of variably sized clusters of material of different dates. A substantial quanity of heat affected stone was identified in concentrations to both N and S of Penniment Lane. Such material is often found in a settlement context, and is therefore suggestive of prehistoric domestic activity. (1)
