Site Event/Activity record ESF20785 - Monitoring, Land between Moulton Road and Mill Road, Moulton

An archaeological monitoring carried out on land at Moulton Stud, Moulton has identified isolated evidence of activity in the Early Iron Age period. An unstratified pottery assemblage suggests a low-level scatter of dispersed activity in the immediate area, but could also be indicating a focus of settlement as it is possible that more extensive archaeological evidence was not uncovered or has been removed by modern agricultural practices The presence of a group of undated postholes forming a possible structure may be of contemporary date but could equally likely be medieval or later.
