Full Description
2017: Geophysical survey recorded a variety of geophysical anomalies, including those indicative of settlement boundaries, trackways archaeological pits, quarry pits and agricultural furrows (S1)(S3).
2017: Evaluation trenches confirmed that many of the anomalies noted by the geophysical survey were archaeological, primarily ditches forming enclosures or fields containing a few artefacts dated to the medieval period. The medieval pottery assemblage was realtively large for a rural evaluation. A single piece of stone was also recorded; at the apex is a central square aperture, this may have functioned as a weight. Some residual Roman material was also present. A redundant clay extraction pit was seen and is marked on a late 19th century map. The site of a second, larger pit, now backfilled was also seen and was indicated by a large depression and confirmed by the geophysical survey (S2)
