Final fieldwork for the SERF project focused on a small group of cropmarks immediately to the W of Millhaugh. Following fieldwalking, test pitting and geophysical survey, which were conducted in previous years, two trenches (MH17.1 and MH17.2) were excavated, 27 March – 4 April 2017.
NO 00678 13952 (NO01SW 34) There were three concentric circular palisade enclosures, and internal stake defined palisade structures exposed in trench MH17.1. Based on comparative data from elsewhere, the features suggest a possible Iron Age date.
NO 00615 14044 (NO01SW 36) A mini-henge was revealed in the trench MH17.2, which has been provisionally attributed to the Bronze Age. Two midden pits cut the fills of the henge ditch. Thereafter, one of those pits and the henge ditch were cut by rig and furrow.
