Full Description
Evaluation revealed a series of ditches and a pit which may represent the remains of a prehistoric field system. Prehistoric lithics were also uncovered more widely across the site, mainly flakes, chunks and chips along with some burnt pieces and a retouched tool. The second phase of activity is dated to the Roman period. Three ditches and sherds of Roman pottery were seen across the site which could represent a possible Romano-British field system. Several other ditches were seen, sealed by subsoil, but did not contain any datable artefactual material (S1).
