Full Description

2022: An evaluation encountered deep stratigraphy with depths of up to 2.2m at the western side of the site. The layers comprised multiple humic peat deposits, colluvial layers and flood deposits from which no finds were recovered. A small ‘burnt mound’ spread was discovered towards the northern end of the site along with a small post-medieval ditch. A mix of modern, postmedieval and medieval material was recovered from the topsoil and within made ground deposits recorded on the eastern side of the site. (S1)
