(S1) and (S3) identify this site, HCW 87, as a Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age or Beaker occupation site, on the north bank of the Little Ouse roddon. (S1) notes that during the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze this site, which stands on a sand hill in the peat, would have been at the very edge of the water, if not an island.
