Full Description

Clear evidence for a system of former field-boundaries or land-divisions can be seen within the area now occupied by the cricket pitch. These correlate well with evidence for former trackways or paths which can be detected in the northern part of the survey area, along with what are probably some additional smaller structures.

A second trackway alignment may be represented in the results to the west of the field boundaries.

Additional evidence for ditches, or other stratigraphically negative features which may be associated with the supposed site of the mills adjacent to the current childrens’ playground, can be seen to the west of the main area.
