Description
This monument was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R117) and test excavation (Licence no. 09E0479) as part of the proposed Metro North development. An oval-shaped (5m x 7.5m N-S) deposit of dark-black sandy silt with frequent inclusions of heat-shattered burnt stones was identified. A possible ditch or field boundary (1.85m wide) was identified to the W of the burnt spread and a possible slot-trench (0.2m wide) was identified 1m to the E. It measured 0.2m in width and was filled by black silty charcoal-stained clay (Hession 2009, 20). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 6 February 2015
