Parallel to and approximately 1.7m to the southwest of a ditch was a further linear feature; this was
at least 1.8m long by 0.7m wide and 0.26m deep. Therein was a moderately compacted, homogenous mid-brown silty sand. Dating evidence was absent the linear feature.

These two linear features investigated in the trench were parallel to one another and on a north to south alignment. Double-ditched field boundaries of Roman date, thought to have functioned as trackways, have been identified in the vicinity of the site, and it is possible that the linear features in this trench represent one of these. However, this seems unlikely given that the space between double-ditched boundaries is typically 3m to 5m while the space between these two ditches is around 1.7m. A field boundary of this period would also typically be wider and deeper than the linear features observed in this trench. An alternative interpretation of these features is as ditches flanking a hedgerow.

Given that Iron Age or Roman field systems were located away from areas of settlement, a lack of dating evidence such as pottery is typical for field boundaries of this period. While it is possible that the linear features in the east of the site are of Iron Age or Roman date,there is no dating evidence to support this, and the features could alternatively relate to later agricultural activity of the medieval or post-medieval periods.
