Monument record TR 15 NW 1756 - Prehistoric Curving Ditch (16 Watling Street)
Summary
The earliest features on the site were a possible well, a ditch and some clay extraction pits dating to the turn of the millenium to c. 100/110 AD. There was also two scatters of stake holes although very little evidence for occupation of any sort was seen for this period apart from a single post-hole seen in the bottom of the ditch. The curving ditch formed the outermost of three such ditches here.
