The only feature exposed was within the north corner of the building footprint, which had been stripped down to the natural layer, 0.50m below existing ground level. Feature was a very shallow northwest to southeast aligned ditch, displaying gentle sides and a flat base. The partially exposed feature was 3m+ long, 0.52m wide and 0.10m deep, and was not further exposed during excavations for the footing trenches. It contained a dark brown clayey silt fill with a few fragments of cattle bone. Dating evidence retrieved from this feature consisted of late 17th to 18th century pottery sherds, mostly Nottingham glazed ware with sherds of a Staffordshire mottled-glazed tea pot.
