Remote
dowsing showed nineteen Bronze Age round houses within the camp, four
at the North end and fifteen at the South. Five of these
were located in the SW corner, four of these Bronze Age houses are quite
small, but one was 10.3m diameter with a ring of internal posts and a central
post. The hearth was offset from the centre and there was a wind break
partition inside the entrance
An inner boundary enclosure was found inside the ditch perimeter of the
camp and was a timber fence 2.3/2.5m high, details to be dowsed.
Two Iron Age round houses were found at the northern end, they were 4.3
and 3.3 metres diam., quite small. Adjacent storage pits were 1.8 m deep
and 1.6m diam and contained vegetables.
Peter Golding and Rob Campbell found 3 larger houses near to the
datum point dated to 270/280 B.C. Peter’s pits had about the same
dimensions and contained vegetables and/or grain and were covered. All
were lined with branches.
