Four small areas were excavated to investigate features revealed by river erosion over a number of years. A radiocarbon date of 2370 +/- 100 bp has been obtained from a previously recorded pit fill. Groups of plough truncated post holes and shallow pits were located but very few finds were recovered. A substantial though poorly preserved prehistoric site is indicated. Further charcoal samples have been submitted for dating.

S Carter 1991b.

Following excavations in the field overlying the occupation, and a riverbank fall, a post hole packed with stones and two irregular-shaped pits were exposed. A well-worn whetstone and a convex flint scraper were also found in tumble at this point.
