Full Description
During an evaluation in 2010, a pair of parallel ditches c.2.4m apart that appear to form a Roman or post-Roman trackway were found. One of the ditches cut a Roman pit.
An undated pit or possible post hole was also found. The trackway is taken as possible evidence of livestock movement probably for seasonal grazing during the Roman or post-Roman period. (1)
