Full Description

Two undated truncated linear features, both orientated east to west with shallow sloping sides and flat bases, were recorded to the northwest, adjacent to the Roman dated ditch. Brown silty sand/sandy silts filled the features.

At the east end of the access route were three circular and sub-circular pits measuring between 0.38–1.2m in diameter by 0.09–0.28m deep and containing yellowish grey to greyish brown sand/silty sand. Interpreted as dumped deposits the fills contained burnt stone and charcoal flecks.
