Monument record 1353/0/25 - Possible Roman agricultural activity

Evaluation identified a small number of shallow features which were tentatively dated to the Roman period

{1} Trial trench excavation identified four ditches and a pit on the eastern edge of the evaluation area. The features had not been identified by the geophysical survey. The low number of features suggest that activity was not intensive and probably related to agricultural activities peripheral to a nearby settlement. Most of the features were not dated, although two sherds of Roman pottery were recovered; one from a ditch, another from overlying topoil.
