Full Description

The central part of an evaluation trench was crossed by a shallow ditch on an ENE/WSW alignment. It may be the continuation of Iron Age field boundary ditch, which was exposed 17 m to the west in the strip, map, and sample area. A small piece of modern blue andwhite pottery (not retained) within its pale greyish brown/orange silty clay fill may date the feature, or may be intrusive.

A pit or ditch terminal, 3005, lay in the north-western corner of the trench. Its visible dimensions were 0.9 x 0.53 x 0.3 m. Although artefactually sterile, it contained numerous large cobbles, some heat-affected, potentially signalling that it was associated with the Iron Age remains exposed in the stirp, map, and sample area.
