The evaluation produced evidence relating to six possible ditched enclosures of uncertain date, although surface material observations suggest that two of these may be Roman.

One feature in an evaluation trench corresponded with the geophysics: a possible ditch relating to the interior of a sub-rectangular enclosure was found.

In another trench part of a possible rectilinear feature or enclosure was identified in the form of a narrow gully.

A further trench confirmed the presence of the northern side of a rectilinear enclosure, possibly representing a stock compound of unknown date.

A fourth trench contained two broadly contemporary ditches orientated at right angles and forming part of the same enclosure or other right-angled feature identified by the geophysical survey. A surface scatter of Roman pottery noted in this general locality during the survey suggests a date for this feature.

An additional trench contained three gullies at right angles possibly forming the south-eastern corner of a rectilinear enclosure, although these features were interpreted as post-medieval drainage gullies cut into the lowest part of the field during excavation.

The evaluation in a final trench confirmed the presence of two broadly parallel converging ditches that may relate to an adjacent rectilinear enclosure. A surface scatter of Roman pottery was noted in this general locality during the geophysical survey, suggesting a date for the feature.
