Cork<br />

A small number <strong>of</strong> un-stratified finds from the site consisted <strong>of</strong> two hone stones from the top<br />

soil and a perforated stone disc from under the spread <strong>of</strong> bank material which had been<br />

deposited after the site was levelled in modern times. A quantity <strong>of</strong> animal bone fragments<br />

was recovered, the majority belonging to the backfill <strong>of</strong> the two excavated souterrains. Only<br />

14% <strong>of</strong> the total animal bones (425) was identifiable and consisted primarily <strong>of</strong> sheep/goat<br />

and then cattle.<br />
