Description
{1} Following a six-week excavation in the autumn of 1966, a similar period of further fieldwork was undertaken in 1970 in the adjoining field to the east when deep ploughing at the end of that summer was impeded by buried stonework. {2} Excavation to determine the nature of remains struck by the plough in 1969 entailed the stripping in 1970 of an area over 700 sq.yd. in a field adjacent to that investigated in 1963 and 1966. It had been very much disturbed by ridge and furrow ploughing in the Middle Ages and in the C19th land drains had been laid along the furrows.
