Archaeology Notes

NB23SW 37 2175 3463

NB 2175 3463 A setting of stones, about 4.5m N-S by 5m E-W, was discovered when the foundations of a garage and drainage ditch were being built.

Part of the setting was exposed in the NW corner of the garage and was seen to be set on the underlying till, and beneath the peat. There were no artefacts. The remainder of the setting was established by probing.
