Full Description

2012: Evaluation trenching revealed a ditch. The ditch was orientated east to west and was 2m wide and had a maximum depth of 0.62m. The upper fill was probably a deliberately dumped backfill containing post medieval brick, clay pipe and bottle glass. The ditch corresponds with a field boundary recorded on the 1st Ordnance Survey map (S1).
