One evaluation trench contianed four ditches.

The first ditch measured 1.3m wide by 0.2m and was dug into the limestone bedrock. It contained one naturally derived silty fill but contained no dating evidence. The ditch cut an earlier N-S aligned gully which measured 0.40m wide and 0.10m deep and again contained no dating evidence.

The second ditch measured 1.08m and 0.70m deep and contained two fills. One fill appears to have been the result of deliberate backfilling once the ditch had gone out of use whilst the second fill was a naturally silted deposit. No dating evidence was found in either fill.

The third ditch was largely truncated by a modern land drain and what remained measured 0.86m wide by 0.28m deep. No dating evidence was found in the surviving part of the ditch. Another ditch measured 0.74m wide by 0.24m deep and appeared to be a terminating internal enclosure feature. It contained one naturally silted fill but no dating evidence.

A fourth ditch measured 1.6m wide and was exavated to a depth of 0.96m before space constraints and the water table prevented further excavation. It contained thee fills, of which the bottom fill produced a single sherd of Bronze Age pottery.
