Description
The ZIP file contains three Shape files with information on trenches and features, and a map in GeoTIFF format.
The excavation uncovered 40 Iron Age graves, most of which were stone settings. Few artefacts were found. The burial custom and artefacts date the cemetery to the Early Iron Age and Migaration Period. Underneath the cemetery, two areas of settlement remains were uncovered. The features included hearths, post holes and two burnt mounds. The settlement was mainly dated to the Early Iron Age, with solitary datings to the Bronze Age and Vendel Period.
