Monument record 5041 - Late Bronze Age at Oversley Farm

Excavation at Oversley Farm 1997-1998 in advance of runway expansion at Mancester Airport

The evidence for this phase of the site is limited to a couple of pits concentrated along the eastern edge of the hollow way. Artefactual evidence indicates a domestic presence, although the structural elements were ephemeral, making the building assigned to this phase only tentative.
