An area of 2100sqm was stripped to the south of WGM 007 (see above). A series of small ditches parallel to the lane frontage and a number of large pits were excavated. Two small hearths were recorded but there were no other indications of buildings. The subsoil was a heavy clay and the ditches may have been cut as drains; some of which emptied into ponds, as evidenced by a number of shallow peat-filled hollows. Some dispersed burnt features found across the site may have been prehistoric. The pottery suggests that the occupation of the site began around the 11th century and continued through to the 14th century.
