Full description
1. An area excavation revealed evidence of an previously unknown Iron Age settlement. Features included two large pits of early-middle Iron Age which contained a range of artefacts and ecofacts, which may have been deliberately placed, including a pierced pine marten mandible and several near complete pottery vessels. A few smaller pits and numerous postholes were also found, which may indicate the presence of structures and fences.
