Full Description

Twelve linear features were recorded.
An approximately north to south orientated ditch (0241), curving and butt-ending to the north-east, was identified towards the western edge of the site. To the west of this feature a series of adjacent north to south orientated features (0612, 0655, 0673/0714, 0809), mostly shallow, were recorded, apparently post-dating building 0637 but pre-dating the Period V.b. features.
Three further north-south orientated ditches were recorded (0620, 0622/0777, 0776) adjacent to the western edge of the site, almost certainly earlier representations of this boundary. In addition, three shallow east to west orientated linear features (0811, 0812 & 0813) ran from 0622 to the west before combining into an amorphous spread under building 0637.
One other ditch, orientated north-north-west to south-south-east, was recorded running through Areas 3, 4 and 2 (3274, 3759 & 2616 respectively), (S1).
