Full Description
During a watching brief carried out in 2008, two possible quarry pits were discovered. These may have been natural though. One of the 'pits' was 11 m in diameter and 800mm - 1m deep with a rounded profile. A second feature was located in the north-west of the site that consisted of loose and jumbled chalk pieces. Both features may have been quarry pits but the excavators also warned that they may have been natural. (1)
