- ARTEFACT SCATTER (Early Bronze Age to Late Iron Age - 2200 BC to 42 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
PRN 64449
Fieldwalking in advance of a gas pipeline development found a scatter of Iron Age pottery and some prehistoric flint.{1}{2}
Evaluation and subsequent excavation recorded four amorphous and shallow pits containing a few sherds of pottery and knapped flint. At least one of these may have been a natural feature. The quantity of residual prehistoric pottery from these features, along with the fieldwalking finds does, however, suggest that there was activity nearby in the Bronze Age or Iron Age. Any substantial remains have either been destroyed by ploughing, or lie beyond the limit of the pipeline easment.{1}{2}
