Full Description

2021: An evaluation identified two phases of activity on the site. Phase1 was the most significant phase of activity recorded on the site, with four features being dated 12th-14th century. Ditches 1009 and 1012 in trench 16 possibly from part of an enclosure, meeting at a right angle just beyond the western limit of the trench. The ditches likely represent an enclosure associated with quarrying activity. Pit 1014 in trench
17 was likely a quarry pit representative of quarrying activity to retrieve clay deposits for building purposes.
Phase 2 was represented by two ditches within trench 7. These ditches represent a previousfield boundary subdividing the interior of the field in a half on a northeast to southwest orientation. The ditches are a continuation of a boundary visible on the 1893 OS Map. (S1)
