Full Description
2025: Archaeological evaluation revealed a 16th-century pit, possibly associated with activity at the trackway or an earlier structure which may have stood at the site, and a late 18th-century pit which was likely the product of domestic activity at Parker Long House. Residual sherds of Anglo-Saxon and medieval pottery were also recovered, suggesting that contemporary activity uncovered to the north extends into this area (S1).
