Full Description
Prehistoric pottery located in a poorly defined shallow depression (F103) found from trench T4 of the evaluation. The sherds are all from a pot in a reduced (red-brown) fabric with poorly-sorted crushed burnt flint temper, dating to the late Bronze Age or early (initial) Iron Age pottery, probably belonging in the bracket c.1000-500 BC and possibly later (rather than earlier) in that period.<1>
