Monument record 4053 - Possible site of Iron Age activity

Part of a possible Iron Age ditched enclosure, as well as a small number of undated, but possibly associated features, were recorded during trial trench evaluation

{1} Trial trench evaluaiton identified a bowl shaped ditch. It was orientated north east - south west before turning almost east - west. It it likely that it forms part of a rectilinear feature, possibly an enclosure. There was evidence of one recut of the ditch. Heat affected stones were recovered from its fill, along with a sherd of Iron Age pottery and a possibly intrusive piece of animal bone, and a single piece of flint.

In a trench to the north two ditches, parallel to each other, orientated north east - south west, and a pit were seen. No finds were seen and the dating of the these features and their relationship with the possible Iron Age enclosure remains uncertain.
