The medieval phase of activity was represented by three ditches and a number of pits and postholes which broadly date from the 12th to 14th centuries.

The first ditch ran intermittently across the site in an east-west direction and had silted with dark grey/brown clayey sandy silt with occasional charcoal flecks. The ditch was very truncated, especially towards its western end where it was recorded as being only 60mm deep, and could not be traced across the whole site. Pottery recovered from this ditch was sparse, but would suggest a late 12th-15th century date, with two sherds of intrusive pottery. A single cow tooth was recovered from a fill. The ditch was also identified during trial trenching of the site, where it produced pottery of 12th-13th century date.

A second ditch was located in the south-eastern corner of the site and ran east-west for a distance of 8m before turning north towards the first ditch for 11m, and cutting through an earlier pit; this northern part of the ditch was uncovered in the preceding evaluation. The ditch was up to 0.4m deep in the south-eastern corner and became increasingly shallow towards its northern end, being only 0.08m deep. The ditch was filled by a silting deposit, a silty clay of varying hues with occasional flecks of charcoal. It is likely that this has been heavily truncated, especially towards the northern end where the relationship with the first ditch had been lost, although evidence of an upper fill was present in one section of the ditch, where a fill had been sealed by a second fill. The second fill was a dark brown/grey silty clay with moderate small angular stones devoid of finds. This ditch again contained sparse amounts of pottery which dated from the 13th -14th centuries. The ditch was re-cut in at least one section, which suggests the ditch underwent maintainance on at least one occasion. Possibly associated, although containing no dating evidence, were two postholes in the south-eastern corner of the site. These were both small features and are most likely to represent part of a fence line rather than a structure.

A third very shallow truncated ditch ran east-west from the eastern edge of the site for a distance of 5m. A single sherd of 12th-mid 13th century pottery was recovered from the feature.

A number of pits contained pottery dating from the 13th-14th centuries and are likely to have been contemporary with the ditches. A large pit was located immediately to the west of the second ditch. This measured up to 4.8m wide and 0.8m deep and was cut into the natural bedrock. It contained a range of pottery fabrics, including large sherds of Lincolnshire Early Medieval Shelly Ware, Nottingham glazed ware fragments, local gritty wares ad three sherds of residual Roman pottery. A small amount of animal bone from the three main domesticates (cow, sheep/goat, and pig) was also recovered from the backfill of the pit, a mid grey sandy silt with occasional charcoal flecks and sub-angular stonees. A low density of carbonised oats was recovered from the environmental smaple, as well as charcoal and coal. The size of this pit suggests that it may have been used as a quarry pit, later backfilled with domestic waste.

Two further pits contained pottery dating from the 13th-14th centuries. One pit was in the north-eastern corner of the site and was only 0.1m deep suggesting it had been truncated by later activity. The pit contained two sherds of Lincoln Early Medieval Shelly Ware and a single sherd of Nottingham glazed ware in a light brown/grey slightly clayey sandy silt backfill.

The second pit was located towards the northern end of the site and was sub-circular with vertical sides, although its western edge was undercutting. The pit could not be fully excavated due to its depth, which when augered provied to be 4.5m, indicating that it functioned as a well. The fill comprised mid grey slightly sandy silt with occasional limestone and charcoal fragments and contained Nottingham Iron-Rich Ware pottery, and evidence for industrial waste in form of a hearth bottom and slag from iron smithing. Environmental evidence from the pit included some burnt cereal grains, abundant charcoal and coal.
