Full Description
Running on an approximate northeast-southwest alignment in the very centre of an evaluation trench was a ditch. This feature had fairly steep sides, irregular due to natural inclusions in the geology, with a narrow rounded base. It contained three silty clay deposits, although the small central fill appeared to be a tip deposit from the southeast side of the ditch. No secure dating evidence was recovered from this feature; a small fragment of unidentified pottery was recovered from the environmental sample from the lower fill. There were no charred remains from the sample, and only small amounts of charcoal including oak, hazel and maple. This feature appears to correspond to the targeted geophysical anomaly.
At the very eastern end of the evaluation trench, a small curving gully, was exposed. This had irregularly sloped sides and a relatively flat base. It contained three fills, the earlier fills appearing to be tips or slumps from each side of the feature while the last fill was a final silting fill. As with the ditch, no finds were recovered from the deposits within the feature.
