Full Description

The ditch was located in the western half of an evaluation trench on a north/south orientation measuring 0.97m wide by 0.24m deep with convex sides and a concave base. The primary fill comprised mid grey brown silty clay deriving from natural silting, followed by deliberate backfilling, comprising dark grey brown clay silt. No finds were recovered from either fill. The ditch likely represents a former field boundary on a parallel alignment to a present field boundary to the west.

The ditch is likely mirroring the alignment and closely relating to boundaries shown on historical mapping from 1841.
