Monument record TQ 67 SW 1363 - Medieval/post medieval Funnelled droveway, Springhead
Summary
During excavations undertaken In 2007/8 by Wessex archaeology ahead of development at Springhead, a series of ditches forming part of a Late Medieval or early post medieval field system were uncovered. Two of the ditches appeared to form a funnelled droveway, funnelling from east to west. It is possible that parts of these ditches was first established in the Bronze Age as they appear to respect some Bronze Age features and contained sherds (of possibily residual) Bronze Age pottery.
