Full Description
{1} Trench 5 contained a single south east to north west ditch with a shallow U-shaped profile and concave base.
The sequence of ditches appear to form part of a field system … the ditches are generally aligned perpendicular to and beneath the later medieval ridge and furrow. It is unclear whether the ditches relate to Roman or medieval activity though it is possible that they formed part of the open fields to the surviving medieval village earthworks at Upton, situated 1km to the east.
