Natural gravel was overlain in both trenches by post-medieval land-raising dumps. Post-medieval truncation appeared to be general over the site, and had removed any earlier archaeological deposits. A comparison of heights between the SAM and the evaluation trenches showed that the natural ground rose to the north, making it unlikely that the Roman earthwork passed through the area covered by the evaluation trenches. In addition to the evaluation trenches, a borehole survey was conducted along the eastern periphery of the site. This revealed [ and ]
