Full Description
The ditch, parallel to another ditch, measured approximately 0.85m wide and 0.28m deep, with straight to slightly concave sides and a flat base. This ditch contained three fills. The lower fill consisted of a friable dark grey-brown clay-silt with occasional chalk inclusions. This was overlaid by a compact mid red-brown clay-silt fill. The uppermost fill consisted of a friable dark grey-brown silty clay with charcoal inclusions. No finds were recovered from the ditch. This ditch corresponded to an anomaly identified on the geophysical survey.
The similar orientations and morphology of this ditches and another in the trench suggest that these ditches may be part of a larger-scale feature, such as trackway.
