Abstract: |
A second phase of evaluation by trial trench was undertaken at Manor Farm. Geophysical anomalies and areas of apparent low activity were targeted. Areas of low potential, suggested by the geophysical results, were confirmed by trial trenches in the northeastern and southwestern corners of the development area. Trenches in the southern part of the development area confirmed the presence of an enclosure which had been revealed during the geophysical survey. Within the confines of the ditched boundary lay two curvilinear gullies, possibly associated with structural activity. A small pit outside of the enclosure hinted at further activities on the edge of the bounded area. Remains revealed in the southeastern corner of the development area also suggested domestic activity, adding to similar remains revealed on this part of the site during the first phase of evaluation.
