It was stylistically very similar to longhouses belonging to the linearbandkeramic ( LBK ) and post-LBK cultures of central and north-western Europe, which are dated to the 5th and 6th millennia BCE . Three of the building's post holes contained sherds of Early Neolithic ceramic Plain Bowls, which were radiocarbon dated to 4110 & ndash; 3530 cal BCE . In the vicinity, sherds of Clacton-style Grooved Ware and Mortlake-style Peterborough ware ceramics were also found, dating from the Mid-to-Late Neolithic, suggesting that activity continued at the site over a long period of time ( c . 3750 & ndash; 2250 BCE ).
