- Ditch feature [1070] extended east-west across the trench. This feature was originally observed during excavation of the adjacent ‘Green Wheel’ cycle path (recorded as feature D1), and was initially thought to be curving or horseshoe- shaped, possibly forming a ‘hengeAtype’ monument. No finds were recovered from this feature, however, previous interpretations that the ditch silted prior to the construction of the Bronze Age post alignment was supported by several posthole features [including 1053, 1035 and 1023] truncating primary and secondary ditch deposits.

Dating Narrative

- Sediment descriptions and sub-samples were taken along with the dimensions of he features that still had wood in situ. No dateable artefacts could be recovered. A shallow outlying pit feature [1074] was excavated to the north of the main cluster of posthole features, but was likely to be a tree bole and could be relatively recent. A number of unstratified animal bones were also recovered from the topsoil during the initial machining, and a single unstratified dark brown-grey un-oxidised sherd of Beaker pottery.
