Full Description
A north to south orientated ditch containing two silty clay fills.
An east to west orientated linear feature with very shallow sloping sides and flat base was recorded to the east of the north-south ditch. Filled by a mid greyish brown silty clay with moderate small to medium sub-angular stones and containing iron slag, the linear feature has been interpreted as a furrow, although a single sherd of, probably residual Roman pottery was retrieved.
Two further undated features, also aligned east to west, were recorded to the northeast of the first east-west linear feature and have also been interpreted as furrows.
Another undated ditch, aligned northeast to southwest, was located immediately to the east of one of the two interpreted furrows and had been re-cut, suggesting that the ditch had silted up prior to its re-use.
