Full Description

2 trenches were excavated, with 1 subsequently extended. 6 similarly aligned ditches from which large assemblages of pottery were recovered probably represent elements of a field system or property boundaries associated with high medieval roadside occupation. The size and quantity of the assemblage, from 2 concentrations, may suggest continuous occupation from the early medieval period but not extending beyond the 14th century. 3 pairs of post-holes formed a double row along a similar NE to SW alignment to the observed ditches, post-dating 2 backfilled ditches assigned a medieval date (S1).
