Full Description
2015: Evaluation revealed two ditch-type features. One contained fragments of post-medieval tile and corresponded with a field boundary marked on an early 20th century map. No dating evidence was recovered from the other ditch although its leached sandy fill and general appearance suggested it could potentially be prehistoric (S1).
