Cat’s Brain, Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire: Radiocarbon dating and chronological modelling
Author(s): Peter Marshall, Jim Leary, Michael Dee, Irka Hajdas
Radiocarbon dating and chronological modelling of samples from Cat’s Brain was undertaken as part of the University of Reading and Historic England Vale of Pewsey Project. The results suggest that the sub-rectangular timber building was constructed in the first or second half of the 38th century cal BC and extended in the decades around 3700 cal BC. A chalk barrow was then raised ‘wrapping’ the disused timber buildings in an act of containment in the first half of the 37th century cal BC.
