Full Description
NH64SE 66 678 432.
Trial trenching 700m to the NE of palisaded enclosure NH64SE 42 revealed plough furrows, probably formed by ard points, which had been scoured and sealed by alluvial gravels averaging 0.7m thick. Further deposits of this gravel, elsewhere in the same field, suggest that prehistoric fields were inundated by a catastrophic flood which may have deposited as much as 40,000 cubic metres of alluvium on the area of the present field.
