ABSTRACT

As the catalogue entries show, most of the lithic material has come from contexts that are the end result of processes such as ploughing, levelling and the construction of the chapel and the cemetery. Clearly all of these activities have disturbed an area of earlier prehistoric activity that may have been related to the putative Neolithic structure (C112, C116, C121, C126, C137, possibly C132/135) which has produced two Neolithic carinated bowls. The presence of this pottery and the Neolithic ceramic material from C851 might support the idea that all of the lithic material was of a similar date. The possibility that two sherds from C845 may be of Bronze Age date, confirms the fact that the material is clearly from a disturbed area of prehistoric activity. This is a point to which we will return below.
