Kilham : Neolithic (c. 5000 BC – 2000 BC)

There are no recorded Neolithic sites within the Kilham study area, though the pit alignments at NT 888345 and NT 879345 if correctly identified, may be of Neolithic date (cf Ewart Park; Higham 1986, 73).

On the basis of work-undertaken close by, it seems likely that the area was at least semi-permanently settled by the end of the Neolithic (Waddington 1999).
