Full Description

Five undated archaeological features:
Trench 8. The south-eastern butt-end of a ditch measuring 1.5m wide and 0.34m deep with a shallow, flat U-shaped profile. A small, very shallow gully measuring 0.7m wide and only 0.1m deep interpreted as post-medieval due to its truncation of the subsoil. No dating evidence recovered from either feature. Trench 9. Gully, aligned north to south, very irregular feature measuring 1.2m wide and only 0.13m deep. Pit, circular with a near vertical concave profile and curved base, measuring 1m in diameter and 0.48m deep. Containing no inclusions or finds other than several large chunks of limestone. Trench 10. Large ditch aligned north-west to south-east, approximately 3m wide at its fullest extent. Steep, straight sided profile 0.55m deep on the south-east side. North edge beyond the edge of the trench.
