Monument details

HER Number:1296
Type of record:Archaeology
Name:Tatton Neolithic Settlement

Summary

Excavations at Tatton found evidence of brief Neolithic farming activity, with evidence of a structure based on an irregular group of post holes and a pit containg burnt material including grain. A scatter of flint artefacts from across the entire site of late neolithic/early bronze age tradition are probably associated. A radio carbon date of around 2590BC has been given.
