Probable Iron Age quarry, Brauncewell Quarry

Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
PRN 61818
A complex of pits was identified by geophysical survey and excavation. Some of the pits were overlain by postholes relating to the triple ditch system (PRN 61813), suggesting they may predate it.{1}{2}
Further geophysical survey and excavation revealed three intercutting pits filled with limestone slabs and rubble. Although a sherd of Late Iron Age pottery was found in the fill of one of these pits, the pits were cut by a Late Iron Age feature, and so may be earlier.{3}{4}{5}{6}
