Excavations at Garway Hill - photo by Chris Atkinson
As
part of the Local Heritage Initiative project exploring the history and
archaeology at Garway Hill in partnership with Garway Hill Commoners Association,
three trenches were excavated in the area of the main settlement enclosure
in order to try and trace its development. One of the trenches excavated
produced Middle Iron Age pottery that dates occupation of the enclosure
to the final centuries BC. Another trench revealed at least one clay-floored
hut, also dated by pottery to the Iron Age.
