In one evaluation trench, one N-S running undated ditch cut into the clay geology. The single fill of the ditch contained no finds, though it may be related to drainage, considering the orientation of the ditch running down the hill it is likely to be a former field boundary/hedgerow.

Another evaluation trench contained three linear ditches which had an unknown function. At the eastern end of the trench one ditch runs NE-SW and contained one clayey silt fill, which contained pieces of post-medieval CBM. The other two ditches, one which runs N-S and one which runs NE-SW, contained no finds. The fills were very similar in all three features and so they may all be of the same date and fulfilled a similar function.

To the south of this trench, lay another trench in the adjacent field. The trench contained one pit and a gully. The trench was extended with a 2x3m box around the pit, but no further features were revealed, apart from a furrow running E-W. The pit was the only discrete feature found on the site, though it did not contain any dating evidence, and its function is unclear. The N-S gully which lies immediately west also produced no dating evidence though it is likely that the two features are related.

Finally, a further trench contained a small linear feature running approximately N-S, though this trench was flooded very soon after the trench was opened. No dating evidence was recovered from the feature.
