A ditch lay towards the eastern end of the evaluation trench. It lay on a northeast-southwest orientation and was concave in profile. It contained a single fill, with a sherd of 2nd–4th century Derbyshire ware pottery recovered from the environmental sample. The environmental sample from the fill yielded the best results of the evaluation; a small number of charred barley, spelt and wheat grains and a hazelnut shell fragment were all identified, which in conjunction with the pottery confirms a date of the late Iron Age – early Roman period. In section this ditch was cut through the buried soil/hillwash, although the horizon was diffuse.
