Full Description

The W edge of a large ditch (c.3m wide) was visible at the E end of the trench. The E edge of the ditch was obscured by the edge of the road and a land drain. Rotted roots and remnants of a hedge were noted along the E edge ... a mixed fill containing large amounts of rotting wood, broken ceramic pipe and fragments of fencing. For safety reasons the ditch was not fully excavated. (1) (2)
