Abstract/Summary
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology on Spooner’s Moor, Exmoor, Somerset (SS 7792 3740), during October 2014. The work comprised the excavation of a single trench across the remains of a suspected Bronze Age burnt mound previously identified through walkover and geophysical survey. Excavation revealed a dense, black spread of heat affected stone and charcoal, which appears to represent in situ burnt mound material. This has been radiocarbon dated to the early to mid Bronze Age.
