Full Description
2006: An archaeological excavation revealed a series of ditches and a small number of pits. Dating evidence for the features was sparse as many features contained no artefacts and where pottery was present it was usually only a single sherd. The majority of the small pottery assemblage was Early Anglo-Saxon in date. Some of the later features may have been the continuation of middle Anglo-Saxon ditches to the north (see ERL 114) (S1).
