Full Description
A stone-lined post-medieval drain which was 1.08m in depth, extending to a depth of 1.8m BGL. It was filled by two distinct deposits, a primary fill of black-brown silty-clay with a high density of waterlogged organic material and a secondary fill (probably relating to the infilling of the feature after it went out of use) of mid to dark brown silty-clay.
The pottery sherds recovered from both the primary and secondary fills suggest that it is 17th to 19th century in date. Both fills were sampled to allow further analysis of the fill materials.
Furthermore, when overlying the trench layout on an 1848 map, it could be seen that drain relates to a marked field boundary.
