Recorded monuments

• DU014-120 Cremation pit
  Description

  This monument was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R117) and test excavation (Licence no. 09E0478) as part of the proposed Metro North development. A cluster of three E-W aligned pits (0.25m – 0.50m diam.) was identified. Each pit contained a charcoal-rich fill with occasional burnt bone. A single find of possible prehistoric pottery with slag or similar material adhering to its interior side was recovered from the topsoil in this area (Frazer 2009, 22).

• DU014-121 Enclosure
  Description

  Geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R117) and test excavation (Licence no. 09E0478) underaken as part of the proposed Metro North development revealed a sub-rectangular enclosure (56m E-W x 45m N-S). It consisted of an enclosure ditch (1.9–3.5 m wide) on three sides, branching into a double ditch on the remaining W side, with metalled surfaces, pits, and shallower, narrower ditches surviving in its interior. Some 29.5m to the E was a shallow, metalled NNE-SSW hollow way (c. 4.2m wide and 0.15m–0.53m deep). The monument may date from the early medieval era, based on the absence of (later) medieval pottery and on the recovery of a fragment of concave ‘furnace bottom’ iron slag from a lower fill of the enclosure ditch (Frazer 2009, 23).
