NR 644 874. Excavations at this site (Lussa Wood I) have revealed three continous-construction stone rings, 13 1/2ft overall. Charcoal from one gave a radio-carbon date of 8194 +/- 350 BP, from the other two together, 7963 +/- 200 BP, implying a calendar age of 7000 - 6500 BC. Five neolithic-type relics, including an edge-chip from an axe-like tool of Irish porcellanite, were mixed with the uppermost microlithic artifacts found.

The excavation at NR 6449 8734 is open, but was flooded at the time of visit. One stone ring and half of each of the other two survive.
