Full Description

A ditch which was 3.91 m wide and 0.53 m deep. The ditch also contained a single sandy fill, from which three pieces of worked flint, of probable Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic date, were recovered. It is unclear whether this ditch is part of the same boundary uncovered in three trenches. The ditch aligns well with a linear trend anomaly identified in the geophysical survey.
