Description

A single 30m evaluation trench was excavated to a depth of 0.48-0.4m prior to an application for planning permission. The evaluation identified a single shallow ditch aligned north-east to south-west whose projection bisects the area into two equally sized fields. Fragments of coke and a piece of post-medieval tile were recovered from the feature. Two postholes aligned at a right angle to the post-medieval ditch were recorded towards the centre of the trench. The postholes are undated and it is currently unclear whether they are contemporary to the ditch or belong to some earlier activity.
