Fig 10. Segsbury Camp. The northern half of trench 1 showing house gullies and storage pits.<br />
longer chronological span <strong>for</strong> the occupation of the hill<strong>for</strong>t<br />
than the purely middle Iron Age of last year, ranging from<br />
early Iron Age to late middle Iron Age <strong>for</strong>ms and fabrics.<br />
Small amounts of the early haematite-coated vessels, as<br />
found at Uffington, were also present.<br />
The foundation gully of a second roundhouse was noticed<br />
in 1996 at the very northem end of Trench 1 and explored<br />
thoroughly in 1997 [1364], Fig 10. This area was very badly<br />
damaged by ploughing and erosion resulting in seriously<br />
truncated features which were difficult to resolve. This is<br />
probably also the reason why this feature did not show up<br />
on the geophysics and has obvious implications <strong>for</strong><br />
estimating occupation densities from geophysical data<br />
alone. There is at least one and possibly two foundation<br />
gullies which could represent a re-build of the same house<br />
(sitnilar to the house to the south of the trench), together with<br />
an arc of five stakeholes. Due to the damage it was<br />
impossible to establish whether these represent a different<br />
phase of house building using a different building technique<br />
or whether they are a structural component of the gully<br />
roundhouse.<br />

This measured 6 x 12.8 m and was located to investigate an<br />
ephemeral curvilinear feature shown by the geophysics, of<br />
