Recorded monuments

• WI031-103 Burnt mound
  Description

  This is the record for the burnt mound excavated by Yvonne Whitty (E3247) on the N11 road improvement scheme. There were three phases of activity on the site. The earliest comprised a stone working area and a wooden-lined trough. A radiocarbon date placed this phase of activity in the early Bronze Age. Twenty sherds of early Neolithic Carinated Bowl were recovered from the burnt material associated with this phase but these were regarded as having been disturbed from their original location. The second phase comprised a trough and associated burnt spread that cut through the earlier material and this in turn was cut by a third trough, representing the third phase of activity at the site.

• WI031-104 Burnt mound
  Description

  This is the record for the burnt mound excavated by Yvonne Whitty (E3248) on the N11 road improvement scheme. The burnt mound sealed a trough and two gullies and two pits that were related but not sealed by the burnt material. One retouched flint flake recovered from the feature dated it to the Bronze Age.
