Regarding the accusation that the archaeologists are only looking for Neolithic features. this was inspired by this:
The focus for this work is an area of presumed fade/transition along the northern and eastern edge of the Neolithic and Bronze Age features and artefact scatters previously recorded in the south western corner of Ladybridge Farm. This zone has been produced to reflect a number of natural,archaeological and historical factors which include;
the extent of the desiccated peat
past farming regimes and land management processes
location of dateable Neolithic features as identified in the initial evaluation.
extent of worked flint.
Since nothing to the north of here is being researched, yet we know the glacial lake was drying up and there is evidence of continued use of the site up till the late Iron Age, is it not reasonable to suggest that further BA/IA features may well exist to the north of the "transition zone"?
