HER 4996 - Bronze Age settlement, Land at Home Farm, Laleham
Evaluation by SCAU of phase 4 of mineral extraction at this site, followed on from evaluation and excavation of the earlier phases in previous years. Two areas of archaeological interest, both occupying slightly elevated positions, were noted and subsequently excavated. A variety of features, mainly Middle or Late Bronze Age but including some Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, were recorded. Finds included fragments of perforated clay slabs, which are typically Late Bronze Age. The majority of features were clearly settlement related, although some pits contained what may be cremations. An ancient watercourse ran slightly to the north of this extraction site and previous work has located evidence for prehistoric settlement adjacent to it.
