Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
During a watching brief and excavation, undated features and finds were recorded. Features consisted of pits (two were clay-lined and contained burnt cobbles), postholes, a hearth lined with limestone flags, and a burial. A possible roundhouse with a central roof support may be represented by some of the postholes. The burial was aligned north/south and was of an unsexed adult aged 26-45 years at death, (the alignment suggests a pagan or pre-christian burial). A femur from the fill of a quarry pit belonged to an unsexed individual aged 13 plus. See also PRN 61900. {1}
