Abstract: Phase IIIThe uppermost level of the site consisted of a deposit of blue-grey boulder clay with stones embedded in the surface (Fig. 3, F5).This layer measured 2.35m wide and 13cm in maximum thickness.In a number of places, particularly toward the southern end of the cutting, flags from below protruded through this layer.Low banks of clay ran along the flanks of this surface and partially overlapped it (Fig. 3, F3 & F4).These banks were irregular in nature and were penetrated by peat on their upper surfaces.This made it difficult to distinguish between deliberate deposits and peat washed through with clay.This layer was taken to represent the last working surface of the site and care was taken to identify any wheel ruts or other evidence of use but none were noted.
