Full Description

Post medieval ditch, post holes and pits found during excavation work in 2004-2005. The ditch is 68m long and likely to be either a field boundary ditch or drainage ditch. While the ditch contained a number of Roman pottery sherds in the range AD 50 -100, these are interpreted as being residual on account of the inclusion of a fragment of post medieval tile dating from AD 1480-1800 in the fill. The two pits were simlirly dated on account of the inclusion of later diagnostic tile and glass fragments. Their function is unknown. The two postholes are interpreted as representing part of a possible fence line. They are dated by their CBM contact. (1)
