Full Description

Evaluation of land in 2015 by 5 evaluation trenches measuring 25m in length and 18m wide. In trench 2 a narrrow linear gully was observed. The cut orientated approximately north south and measured 0.6m wide and 0.25m deep and was asymmetrical. The feature could be a deliberately cut drainage gully or a naturally occuring feature caused by water running off the valley sides. Two prehistoric struck flint flakes were retrieved from the surface of the deposit but this does not suggest that the gully is prehistoric.(1)
