Research description
Hut platforms and enclosing earthworks indicate substantial occupation. Existing radiocarbon determinations are affected by sample and old-wood concerns, so precise phasing and the scale of simultaneous occupation remain uncertain.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Radiocarbon plateau or broad calibration affected
Absolute dating is widened or blurred by calibration structure and sample limitations.
Why does this record have this property?
Absolute chronology remains broader than a single typological boundary because calibrated ranges, sample histories or association quality limit precision.
