Ne-sw aligned stone built buttress over 1.8m wide. Constructed with some re-used masonry fragments. Mostly removed and levelled by robbing. Masonry deposit and bedding layer against the north face of the buttress. Buried soil layer against the south-east side of the buttress contained residual Roman-British pottery and 14th to 15th century pottery. A dark humic deposit directly overlaying the buttress indicates a period of abandonment after the robbing event. Pottery from this layer dates to the late 13th to early 15th century. (1)
