Full Description
During an archaeological investiagtion carried out on land between Manston Road and Preston Road ahead of the redevlopment of the site, Only two archaeological features were observed. One a linear ditch had been observed in one of the earlier evaluation trenches excavated in 2018. No dating evidence was recovered in the four segments excavated through the feature, but it is likely that it could belong to the southern periphery of medieval settlement found on the adjacent residential development in 2020. An elliptical pit was excavated within the footprint of another of the 2018 evaluation trenches, where a ditch had been identified in the evaluation. The excavated feature had a round based cut, with a silty clay fill that contained a cattle skull, pressed against the edge of its southern end (information summarised from source) (1)
