Full Description

{1} Trial trench excavation identified archaeological features in three trenches. Of these, two reltaed to former field boundaries of relatively recent date.

{2} Archaeological excavation prior to development identified several post-medieval boundaries. Two linear foundation cuts of post medieval boundary walls (2.5m x 0.6m x 0.5m), one parallel and one perpendicular to a boundary field ditch. The wall was constructed of randomly coursed annular ironstone.
The boundary features are visible on most OS maps up to the mid 20th century, and the earliest depiction of the field boundaries is an estate map of c.1840. Three pits, two post holes and a ditch were also recorded. None contained any finds
