Description
{1} Thirty three trial trenches were excavated. The work followed two geophysical surveys and confirmed the presence of two circular enclosures, a pit alignment, a ditch and a group of intercutting pits and ditches. Another possible pit alignment was identified as well as a small number of additional pits and ditches. The limited amount of pottery recovered indicates the remains were probably Iron Age in date. The remnant furrows of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation were also present throughout evaluation area as indicated by the geophysical survey.
