Abstract/Summary
'Machine stripping of a 40m by 50m area on the slopes of Sweethill, Portland revealed traces of a rectangular post-built structure with evidence for some internal divisions. A small pit hearth was found just outside of the building. No contemporary floor surfaces or occupation layers were discovered and there were very few artefacts recovered. It is suggested that this represents the remains of an Early Neolithic house.'
