Trench SG T11000 (2014 -) was re-opened in 2017 to complete the excavation of Middle Bronze Age Structure I. A Roman villa located to the east of the excavation area may have helped to protect this Bronze Age site.

The excavations have revealed an extensive sub-oval building approximately 10m long located on a terrace that was at least 15m long and cut into a south-east facing slope. This building consisted of earth fast posts with an external cladding of wattle and daub potentially with a lime wash. A roughly oval drip gully would have taken water from an overhanging roof and the entire terrace was drained by a large drainage ditch. Due to erosional truncation no in situ occupation layers survived within the internal space of the building.

The best-preserved deposits lay within the drip gully which appears to have been filled in soon after the abandonment of the building. The majority of the material excavated from the deposits associated with the occupation of the building were of local origin and indicate a thriving cottage industry. The pottery was almost certainly manufactured on or close to the site, all of the material required was present, including crystalline calcite stone that was used for temper. Flint tools were being produced as and when needed, although perhaps not within close proximity to the building. The flint assemblage was dominated by small to large flakes and concentrated within the midden deposits. The presence of spindle whorls and a loom weight recovered during 2016 indicate that various other organic items such as cloth and wool products were also being produced.

Excavations of the site’s two preserved buildings produced a rich assemblage of cultural material, including fine ware drinking cups, coarse ware storage jugs, and various assemblages of occupation detritus.
