A summary of the information board:
Langford
At Langford, pits and gullies were found that contained Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age pottery (2400 - 2000 BC). Additionally a ring ditch cemetery was found near Langford Hall. This contained cremation burials of Middle Bronze Age (c. 1700 - 1500 BC). 8 cremation urns were found, 3 enclosed by the ring ditch and 5 outside of the enclosure.
Brough
The line of the bypass at Brough was marked out around 100 BC by fields that were defined by ditches. These were laid out following a east-west/north-south alignment. It is thought that the larger ring gullies may represent roundhouse foundations, while the smaller rung gullies may have provided drainage for haystack stands. The pottery here shows that this site was in use until 1 AD, but was then abandoned.
Glebe Farm
An Early Bronze Age cremation cemetery aged between 2000 - 1700 BC was found to comprise of cremation burials in urns which were set inside an oval ditched enclosure.
Further south on the A46 similar excavations were completed during construction work near Stragglethorpe. You may wish you view/read about that site too
