• LA032-038 Burnt spread
  Description

  Sites 1 (LA037-013001-) and 2 (LA037-013002-) were spreads of dark grey-brown soil, with some patches of charcoal, and black, charcoal-rich soil. They were 11m and 8m long, respectively, and at least 4m wide, but each continued beyond the take of the road. Deep ploughing had disturbed both, and Site 1 had been further disturbed by a drain. The only finds were modern bottle glass. Site 3 was a smaller spread of similar material, measuring 1.2m x 0.8m. A fragment of burnt bone was found here.
