Full Description

A ditch recorded in a trench contained a range of artefacts dating to the post-medieval period, which indicates that this ditch may have formed part of a field system contemporary with those identified in the eastern part of the site.

The cut of the shallow ditch, orientated north-east to south-west and measuring 1.10m in width by 0.06m in depth, was identified cutting the natural deposit. This ditch was filled with a mid-brown / grey silty sand, containing bone, ceramic and metal finds. The nature of these finds indicated a post-medieval origin for this ditch.
