Earthwork: Non-destructive fieldwork

{2} The sites of the building shown on the 1726 and 1823 maps are only disturbed ground.

{3} A slight bank or mound covered with a layer of pebbles or cobbles some 8cm thick. No finds were recovered. The feature may be no more than a fairly modern dump but could be the edge of the surviving earthworks.
