Full Description

Only a few archaeological cut features were identified on the site. These were mostly shallow gullies
that probably formed part of a post-Roman agricultural landscape.
Trench 3 contained a pit or posthole [307] was circular in plan and measured 0.50m in diameter and 0.23m deep.
Three archaeological features were recorded in Trench 4; gullies [406], [412] and [414]. An abraded Roman tegula roofing tile was recovered from the slot excavation, which suggested it was residual in a later feature.
A single gully [807] was observed in Trench 8, aligned north-west south-east, to the south-west of the drainage pit. (1)

A strip, map, and sample excavation in 2018 identified a continuation of the linear field boundary ditch which was initially discovered during the 2017 evaluation. The feature was aligned NW-SE and measured 1m wide and 0.20m deep. (2)
