Full Description
{1} Two ditches were seen. The larger ditch, between 1.5m and 1.8m wide, was exposed for a length of 28m along a north east to south west alignment. It appears to respect the other ditch which ran perpendicular to its south west end and was traced for 5m across the width of the road corridor; it was 1.05m wide. Apeaprt from a small gully on the northern edge of the large ditch no other features were found. The larger ditch produced a substantial quantity of Roman pottery spanning the period from the 1st to late 3rd/ 4th centuries. Metal detecting at this location produced a bronze sestertius of Marcus Aurelius dateable to AD71.
