Monument record 4701/0/8 - Uncertain medieval features

{1} A ditch orientated north east - south west with a max. width of 3.55m and a depth of 0.35m. It had gradually sloping sides which then dropped steeply to a narrow base. Its fill contained sherds of 13th century pottery. The ditch is probably agricultural in nature, either a field boundary or a drainage ditch.
A roughly circular posthole with vertical sides and a flat base, 0.5m in diameter and 0.35m deep. The fill had been reddened by heat but no evidence remained of the activity which caused this.
A shallow irregular sub-oval scoop, possibly a small root hole. It too had a scorched fill.
Three very shallow (less than 50mm deep) areas of scorched earth.
