Full Description
{1} A linear anomaly representing an acutely angled ditch, possibly two sides of an enclosure.
{2} A ditch aligned east-west, 1.4m wide and 0.4m deep. The southern edge of the ditch was steep, while the north edge had a stepped profile. The fill contained no material artefacts. The geophysical survey suggested the ditch was over 130m long and generally aligned east-west although curving gently to the north at both ends. It may be a boundary ditch or part of a larger enclosure.
