Full Description
Archaeological monitoring revealed two ditches and a medieval pottery handle found in the fill of one of them. The handle suggests that the feature was backfilled after the 15th or 16th century but given that it seems quite abraded it may have already been of some antiquity when it was deposited into the ditch. Neither ditch appeared to relate to features shown on historic maps. The features may be the rear property boundary of a former dwelling plot (S1).
