The National Monuments Service's description
This site was excavated during grading of a stream bank that surrounds the open space of Chapel frame housing estate (Licence no. 07E0409). A series of ditches were excavated including a banked ditch. On removal of the E bank (13m long x 1.33m wide) of this ditch a flint arrowhead of probable early Bronze Age date was recovered (Giacometti 2007, 33).
