One of the evaluation trenches contained a stone lined drain orientated E - W which was respected and left undisturbed by the sand pit. A further stone drain orientated N - S was exposed in an adjacent trench. Both were competently built comprising a stone base, side walls and stone capping. No dating evidence was recovered from either drain. A trench along the S boundary contained a single linear feature with pitched limestones which may have acted as a drain. Artefacts recovered from its fill included two sherds of Nottingham green glazed pottery, a fragment of a wool ?scarf, a small sheet of man-made polymer and a sherd of Nottingham stone ware. The finds are not considered to be reliable indicators of the feature's date. (1)
A continuation of the N-S stone built drain was encountered. C17 date tentatively attributed to the drains, all the structures with which they were associated have gone. (2)
