Oh, a 'random' (slightly -ok so maybe not really, other pressures were at play...) selection of 6 'undated' and unloved small round holes in the landscape returned,:-
2 x early Neolithic
2 x late Neolithic
1 x Beakerish
and, errr,...
1 x early Anglo-Saxon
'fraid that was all the C14 budget I thought I could get away with on undated features with no finds or wider associations, interesting though. Those were scattered along around 15 miles of road scheme, and were all either isolated or formed one of a pair (that category included the Anglian one - have a suspicion that's a duff date though,........<snip>
Duff date?
Surely you mean poorly chosen piece of intrusive carbon?
