A trial trench was positioned to encounter two linears identified on the cropmark plot. Four ditches were identified in this trench, two of which were investigated. These both had a NW-SE alignment with similar shallow U-shaped profiles. Both were filled with single deposits of sterile grey silt with no finds.

The two ditches corresponded well with the two linear cropmarks in this part of the site. They are likely to be former field boundaries associated with either the nearby pre-Roman Iron Age activity or the later post-Medieval landscape.
