Full Description
{1} A group of four similar trenches was identified by magnetometry and confirmed as a vineyard by excavation. Excavation of the area around these four trenches produced no further trenches but identified scatters of non-structural post-pits, possibly reflecting a continuation of vine cultivation by a less agriculturally stringent or archaeologically visible method than the extensive remains c2.5km to the north (HER 3505/0/7).
