Find Spot MPM1008 - Plough marks and possible ploughed out barrows, Farlington Reservoir

Archaeology recorded during an evaluation at Farlington Reservoir by Portsmouth Museum Service in 1991 on the site where the covered reservoir at the eastern end of the side now stands. The limited site archive records the following: Plough marks at eastern end of site, otherwise no noticeable features. One large feature was excavated on the extreme west of the site, which contained a fill of large flints underlain by a burnt layer. The fill was largely homogenous soil with few associated (?) A single sherd of late Iron Age/Romano-British pottery was recovered, and charcoal samples were taken for C14 dating. Two 2m adjacents were cut along the southern limit of the site, and revealed the possible remains of half ploughed out barrows, but there were few other features.
