Full Description
{1} A V-shaped profile ditch aligned SE-NW, 1.9m wide and 1.13m deep. Seven abraded sherds of late Iron Age pottery, probably from a single vessel, were recovered. A gully 0.32m across and 0.14m deep was also seen.
The small number of sherds suggests the feature was a field boundary away from the main area of settlement.
