Full Description
{1}A single linear ditch, 4105, lay east of Glassthorpe Road and was aligned south-west to north-east. The profile was unlike the Roman ditches to the west, having straight sides and a broad flat base. The fill material was also lighter orange-brown instead of greyish-brown and contained sandy clay gravel instead of clayey silt and silty clay. No datable finds were recovered and the ditch does not correlate with any of the boundaries located using historical maps.
