Full Description

An irregular feature extended from the north-eastern corner of the site and this contained a brown silty sand fill. Close by was a sub-circular feature, which resembled a small pit and contained a similar fill to the irregular feature.

Running obliquely across the trench on an south-west to north-east orientation was a linear, the fill of which was brown silt with occasional charcoal flecks. It was truncated by two modern service pipes. Three contexts were irregular in plan and had the appearance of being natural. All three contained similar sterile brown silty/sand fills.

Finally, three linear features were located towards the southern limit of the area. One feature was the smallest orientated east-west; it had a dark grey loam fill and may represent a field boundary. The second ditch was dated as Anglo-Saxon and was dated by finds (see MNT28575). Its north-eastern limit converged with a third linear; a north-west to south-east orientated linear. This had an almost identical fill to Anglo-Saxon ditch but did not produce any finds. Its eastern limit was unclear due to machining conditions. These last two linears could possibly represent separate field boundaries or settlement enclosure ditches, or may even have been part of the same feature.
