The geophysical survey has recorded potential archaeological remains, predominantly in the south-western part of the site, where a number of linear trends probably indicate buried ditches, with some discrete responses possibly being buried pits. Stronger examples of the latter possibly indicate sites containing burnt materials. (1)

Whilst one potential ditch appears to respect the current, though long-established, north-western boundary of former farmstead Old Hall Farm, thus implying an association with the farmstead, no corresponding former boundary is recorded on historic O.S. Maps. It is parallel with a ditch running off from the medieval enclosure. (1) (2)

Despite its close proximity to the potential ditches mentioned above, it is speculated that another potential ditch might have formed part of a separate (and potentially earlier) phase of activity - conceivably associated with remains that lie within 100m to the south of the site (HER Ref. L7613). (1)

The results indicate a possible c.NE-WS aligned ditch abutting the western extent of one of the linear features. (1)

Away from the mitigation area, the trial trench evaluation had also identified further plough furrows as well as post-medieval field boundary ditches and a large post-medieval refuse pit. (2)
