- ARTEFACT SCATTER (Iron Age - 800 BC to 42 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
PRN 46758
A large dumped deposit of briquetage was uncovered during a watching brief. No associated saltern features were identified and it is suggested therefore that the site was not a saltern but rather an associated waste dump or briquetage production area. Also, no salt water indicators were found during the environmental analysis. The briquetage was dated to the Iron Age on the basis of its form and also the associated pollen analysis. {1}{2}
