Full Description
THIS AREA OF SETTLEMENT PROVED ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC IN TERMS OF CERAMIC ABUNDANCE AND VARIETY. THERE WERE 10 FIRED CLAY BALL FRAGMENTS, THOUGHT TO BE NET-WEIGHTS, AND OTHER FINDS. THE LOCATION OF THE SITE IS INTERESTING, AS IT OCCUPIES A CLAYEY DEPRESSION WITHIN AN OTHERWISE GENERALLY EVEN TRACT OF SILT, THOUGH WITH INDISTINCT RODDON TRACES OCCASIONALLY VISIBLE. THE CAUSE OF THIS LOCAL PATTERN OF SILT DEPOSITION IS UNCLEAR UNLESS A FLOOD DEFNCE BARRIER (OF TURVES?) PROTECTED THE SITE FROM INUNDATION. {1}{2}, HTM 2.5M
