The objects recovered
included a small quantity of bone, approximately 80 pieces of probable
prehistoric pottery, approximately 24 pieces of flint and possible worked
quartz. There are also five possible prehistoric iron artefacts (including
slag), 54 worked stone objects (including hammer stones, rubber stones,
possible gaming pieces and bottle stoppers) and approximately 63 coal
or slate objects. Finally, there are 116 samples of possible finds recovered
from dry sieving which have yet to be checked.
The artefact assemblage
indicates that the site saw domestic occupation and on-site manufacture
of items. The coal discs, which were evidently manufactured on-site, have
tentatively been interpreted as bracelet rough-outs.
