Full Description

A ditch ([31]) and three post-holes ([13], [15], [17]) to the east of the ditch found in Trench 6. All undated.

From the report: "ditch [31] measured 0.75m in width with a depth of 0.30m. The single fill (30) comprised fairly compact mid orange brown silty clay and contained a large ball of iron slag, burnt flint and one struck flint. The three ‘post holes’ *013], [015] and [017] contained no cultural material and may represent bioturbation (i.e., root activity) associated with the orchard that existed on the development site in the 19th century. That said, the shape and profile would suggest that they are genuine, possibly representing a structure associated with the adjacent boundary ditch." (1)
