Site 5 - Bronze Age Roundhouse

[c]

Excavations prior to the construction of the Sports Pavilion uncovered post-holes in a concentric circular arrangement typical of a Bronze Age roundhouse about six metres in diameter with a thatched roof extending beyond the main wall of the building and supported on an outer circle of small posts.  An associated rubbish pit contained the remains of a pregnant cow and butchered fox bones.
