Full Description
{2} Archaeological evaluation comprising geophysical survey followed by trial trench excavation identified features in Trenches85, 87, 95, 103 & 104 which correlate with a series of geophysical
anomalies. These features appear to be focussed on and around an enclosure located at the western
end of Trench 103. Given the apparently contemporary relationship of these features they have been
group together and, on the basis of the pottery, dated to the Iron Age and/or Roman periods.
However, it is noted that only very small quantities of pottery were recovered from these features.
May be associated with a possible field system located to the west.
