Monument record MLI90286 - Dumped briquetage deposit to the west of Addlethorpe
Summary
Dumped briquetage deposit to the west of Addlethorpe
Type and Period (1)
- ARTEFACT SCATTER (Iron Age - 800 BC to 42 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
PRN 46759
A large dumped deposit (up to .15m thick and extending for at least 29m before being obscured by groundwater levels) 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}
