Abstract:		 Further archaeological investigations were carried. In total, 7 areas of open area excavation were excavated across the hill of which Area 1 was by far the largest. The excavation uncovered some possible Bronze Age placed deposits and a network of Late Iron Age gullies and ditches which most likely represent stock enclosures and field boundaries located on the periphery of a settlement. Little domestic waste was recovered. Some of the ditches had two phases of use with evidence for re-cutting (or cleaning) of the linear boundary features. A large rectangular enclosure was identified, perhaps an addition to an existing set of parallel ditches which may have acted as a drove-way or ditch-flanked trackway. This enclosure seems to have been created for the corralling and control of domestic animals on the hill. During the Early Romano-British period some of these ditches were enlarged but for the most part remained upon the same configuration and orientation of their Iron Age predecessors. Two unusual features discovered in Area 1 included a large area of compacted flint cobbles sealing two pits and a natural depression in the north-east corner of the site. The latter had been used for the deposition of a large quantity of charcoal and burnt flint and Late Bronze Age pottery was found at its base. The animal bone evidence is indicative of an economy based on the secondary products of cattle and sheep rearing along with the exploitation of horses. Later Post- Medieval and more recent features related to a farmstead and the use of the site as an asylum.
