Full Description
1st Trench: Contained four ditches as well as a pit. These features correspond to anomalies identified in the geophysical survey. Romano-British pottery sherds were recovered from the fills of three ditches. One trench was aligned northwest-southeast and measured 4.2 m long x 0.74 m wide x 0.82 m deep with steep sides and a flat base. A second ditch was aligned north-south and measured 3 m long x 1.3 m wide x 0.54 m deep with steep sides and a flat base. The ditch was the latest of three ditches following a similar alignment and location within the trench. The ditch cut a third ditch, which in turn cut a fourth ditch. The third ditch was aligned north-south and measured 3 m long x 2.35 m wide x 0.81 m deep with a stepped/irregular profile. The fourth ditch was aligned north-south and measured 3 m long x 1.48 m wide x 0.86 m deep with a rounded base.
3rd Trench: Contained six ditches. These features correspond to anomalies identified in the geophysical survey. Romano-British pottery sherds were recovered from the fills of four ditches. Possible Anglo-Saxon sherds were recovered from one of the ditches. One ditch was aligned northeast-southwest and measured 1.8 m long x 1 m wide x c. 0.5
m deep and had been heavily truncated by a modern land drain. The ditch lay to the north of the other five ditches. The second ditch was aligned north-south and measured 1.8 m long x 0.85 m wide x 0.92 m deep with a sub-‘V’ shaped profile. The ditch was the earliest of a series of intercutting ditches which included three other ditches. The ditch had been cut by two treches. The third ditch was aligned north-south and measured 1.8 m long x 1.5 m wide x 0.68 m deep with a sub-rounded base. The fourth ditch was aligned north-south and measured 1.8 m long x 1.18 m wide x 0.62 m deep with a rounded base. The ditch had been cut by the final ditch. The fifth ditch was aligned north-south and measured 1.8 m long x 0.96 m wide x 0.32 m deep with a rounded base.
6th Trench: Contained two ditches and two pits. These features correspond to anomalies identified in the geophysical survey. Romano-British pottery sherds were recovered from a fill of one ditch. That ditch was aligned east-west and measured 1.8 m long x 1.3 m wide x 0.5 m deep with a sub-‘V’ shaped profile.
7th Trench: Contained one ditch and one pit. These features were not identified in the geophysical survey. The pit was sub-circular in plan measuring 1.25 m x 1.14 m with a depth of 0.72 m and a sub-‘U’ shaped profile. The pit contained Romano-British CBM material. The pit was cut by the ditch and may possibly be Late-Iron Age in date.
10th Trench: Contained three ditches. All of these ditches shared a common northeast-southwest alignment. These features were not identified in the geophysical survey. One ditch measured 3.7 m long x 2.2 m wide x 1.11 m deep with a sub-flat base and stepped sides. The ditch had been cut by a modern land drain and by another ditch. The cutting ditch measured 3.7 m long x 0.95 m wide x 0.62 m deep with a rounded base. The ditch had been cut by another. A sherd of Romano-British pottery was recovered from a fill.
