Full Description

{1} Trial trench evaluation was undertaken in 2017. In trench 15 there were two ditches- one was orientated northwest-southeast and was at least 1.14m long, 1.03m wide and 0.85m deep. Only magnetic residue was recovered from the fills. A second ditch was located to the south on a similar but not parallel alignment. It was completely different in form as it was only 0.5m wide, 0.29m deep with steeply sloping sides and a concave base. It had a single fill, of grey-brown clay from which no finds were recovered.
