Full Description
The ditch was on a northeast-southwest orientation. It had moderately steep sides and a slightly concaved base. It contained five deposits, two of which contained finds. The lower three fills, all appear to be tip or slump fills, one from the east side of the ditch, the other two from the west. All three were orange-grey silts, with one context including occasional charcoal flecks, and a single sherd of 18th century glazed earthenware pottery was recovered from another context. The upper fills were levelling episodes, the fills indicative of natural silting, with three worked flints recovered from the uppermost fill, all dated to the Mesolithic – early Neolithic period and thought to be intrusive in a later feature.
