Description

Study of this small and well-preserved enclosure seems to demonstrate the presence of several ritual pits in association with ditches with family or kin group connections, and ringed by a single `squashed oval' enclosure ditch. Radiocarbon dating indicates a date for the site's construction and use in the first half of the fourth millennium BC. Notable finds and collections include Fengate-style wares, flint work, polished stone axes, worked wood and bone objects.
