Full Description
A watching brief took place in July 2006 and identified an area of disturbance on the eastern part of the site which contained a scatter of redeposited lithics amongst 19th-century and modern debris. The scatter comprised a large amount of flint/chert fragments and flakes many of which appear to have been worked. The material was not in situ, however, having been redeposited within the site from another location, most likely as a result of forestry works or the construction of the main road. <1><2>
