Full Description
{1} Archaeological trial trench excavation was undertaken in 2018. An area of probable late Iron Age to Roman settlement was identified in the northern extent of the site, possibly a small, enclosed farmstead. Two trackways, one aligned north-south and the other north-west to south-east, also dated to the same period and may be related to an associated field system.
