Full Description
In 2013 an evaluation in advance of development was carried out at Luckley Field, Wye.
A series of ditches and pits were discovered, exclusively in the south-western half of the site. Although some datable finds were recovered, these were limited to no more than a single piece from any feature. The excavators regarded the dating of all the features is at best tentative. The ditches are likely to have been agricultural, possibly stock enclosures or paddocks. They were laid-out on the well-draining loam soils to the immediate south to the historic medieval core of Wye village. Two features in Trench 6 (a possible tree throw and ditch) may represent an earlier phase of activity, possibly of early prehistoric date.(1)
