We are still awaiting most of the dating analysis results but news just in from Dominic Powlesland is that the C14 dates are suggesting a date range of 924 to 826BC (at 94% probability) – which is exactly where we would expect the Palisaded enclosure to fit at the interface between the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages.
So, exciting news and probably more to follow in the new year.
