Archaeology Notes

NT82SE 32 from 85049 20599 to 85050 20581

Faint traces of cord rig were observed on the very gentle to moderate slopes around the palisaded settlement (NT82SE 23) crowning Fasset Hill, particularly to the NE and SW. However these traces are, at best, patchy and generally indiscernible on the ground. Where detected, the rig, oriented from N to S, measured 0.6m in width and up to 0.2m in depth
