Full description

Wells, T. + Newton, L., 2020, Bronze Age Monuments and Iron Age Settlement at Pinn Court Farm, Exeter, 85, 117; Fig 3 (Article in Serial). SDV364781.

A small pit (2104) 10m to the west of pits 2083 and 2146 (SDV132524 and SDV132525) contained a large quantity of charcoal. No intrinsically datable artefacts were retrieved from this feature. However, a radiocarbon date of 1870-1540 cal BC (UBA-35938;3388 +/-29BP) was obtained from a cereal grain from this feature, placing it at the end of the Early Bronze Age or beginning of the Middle Bronze Age.
