NF 7250 2883 Four test-pits indicated a sequence of activity all belonging to the Early Bronze Age. The earliest features were two soil horizons, separated by windblown sand, with ard marks indicating cultivation and associated with Beaker pottery. Above these was a more complex sequence of layers indicating occupation associated with Food Vessel fragments.
