Full Description

Trench 03, Site 1. Sited to intercept a pair of curving parallel cropmarks (L1801). Several discreet darker patches thought to be pits or post holes. Five broadly parallel 0.3 - 0.4m deep ditches on a NW - SE alignment, and one more on a N-S alignment. Additionally, a much deeper feature (0.8m deep) appeared to be the butt end of a substantial boundary ditch, which continued to the SE. Pits, one with black vesicular pottery of possible prehistoric date. Ditches produced Ro pottery, Dr31 Samian base mid / late C2. (1)
See L1801 for cropmarks. L12043 for trench 02 and cross references.
