Full Description
Two truncated broadly east west orientated ditches, both measuring c.0.90m wide by 0.10m deep. The first ditch was filled with a mid grey silty clay, with occasional flecks of charcoal, and the second ditch with a light yellowish brown sandy clay from which one sherd of Roman pottery was retrieved. The similarity of these two ditches suggests that they were contemporary and may have formed part of a double ditched enclosure or possibly defined the edges of a trackway.
