Samples were collected at sites MNL 124, MNL 137 and MNL204 for dating and analysis of wood, charcoal, fruits, seeds etc,molluscs and bone. The aims were to establish the dates,local environment and function of these sites.MNL 124 was dated to 1770bc and MNL 137 to 1700bc; the date for MNL 204 is awaited. All three sites were located in woodland clearances in or close to areas of fen, carr or marsh.
