Full Description
PRN 35527
During geophysical survey a series of linear and curvilinear anomalies were detected. The site was further evaluated by trial trenching, the anomalies appear to be a ring ditch structure built over a pit alignment. It consists of a penannular ditch, re-cut a number of times. At first the feature was interpreted as a possible round house dating to the Iron Age.{1}{2}{3}{4}
A watching brief and subsequent excavation of the feature identified as being the ring ditch of an early to middle Bronze Age barrow which had been cut by a later Iron Age pit alignment and Anglo-Saxon grubenhaus. It would appear the ditch itself had been recut at least once. The second recut contained pottery sherds dating to the early to middle Bronze Age, including collared urn and an accessory cup.{5}{6}
