Archaeology Notes

NT81NW 67 813 169

See also NT81NW 33 and NT81NW 34.

Intermittent traces of cord rig are visible over the hilltop for some 200m from E to W by 70m, extending E from the N corner of the palisaded settlement. That these ephemeral traces of cultivation and the settlement are contemporary is suggested by the well-preserved nature of the palisade slot, particularly on the NE where the external 'stack' is best preserved.
