Description
Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 99E0458). Situated to the W of the River Dee. Consisted of an arc of burnt stones and charcoal-rich soil (max. L 6.6m; max. Wth 2.3m). Within this arc was a sub-rectangular concentration (1.15m x 0.75m) of similar material. Both deposits were no more than 0.8m in thickness. Excavation revealed a possible hearth below the sub-rectangular concentration but there was no evidence of a trough. The only artefact recovered was a waste flint flake from the arc of burnt material. (Seaver 2000, 188) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 29 June 2012
