Recorded monuments
- DU014-114001 Pit
Description
Excavation (Licence no. 05E0644) undertaken at the site in advance of a residential development revealed an isolated circular pit (0.96m E-W x 0.65m N-S) that contained a rim of coarse Late Bronze Age pottery. Analysis of an environmental sample from the fill, identified cereal remains, 54% of which were barley (McCarthy 2008, 20). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 6 February 2015
- DU014-114002 Pit
Description
Excavation (Licence no. 05E0644) undertaken at the site in advance of a residential development revealed an oval pit (1.6m x 1m) located 19m NNW of another pit (DU014-114001-). It contained four fills with two distinct layers of burning. A flint scraper was recovered from the fill of the pit suggesting a prehistoric date.

- DU014-115 Habitation site
Description
A cluster of pits and a ditch were excavated (Licence no. 05E0644) in advance of a residential development. Three of the pits were interpreted as cess pits and were located in a line 7m-15m from each other. On average 1.8m deep the base of the pits consisted of organic silt. A wooden vessel with a lid was recovered form one of the pits. Lathe turned from a single piece of wood, it was radiocarbon dated to cal. AD 891-1013. Analysis of a basal sample from the same pit identified wild and cultivated species including plum seeds, blackberries, raspberries and hazelnuts. Animal bones recovered were identified as cow, sheep/goat, pig horse and dog. All the pits were backfilled once they had gone out of use and have been interpreted as probably having been located on the verges of settlement (McCarthy 2008, 29).
