Carbon Date. 2140BC. Early Bronze Age Carbon Dates

Report: charcoal; site F, causewayed enclosure ditch layer 6; this layer consists of dark brown soil, chalk lumps and large flint nodules which fills a variable but roughly 'V'-shaped slot recut into the ditch fill at a point when the secondary silts had accumulated almost to the brim. This deposit is a regular feature of the causewayed enclosure ditch and is consistently associated with dumps of organic remains and cultural material (flint work, pot, axe fragments). On archaeological grounds the accumulation of the secondary silts might be expected to have taken a considerable period of time, c 200-300 years.
