Abstract:		 In the south-east corner of the site the remains of a prehistoric pit alignment, which had previously been identified from a cropmark shown on an aerial photograph, was investigated. Three sub-rectangular pits on a north-north-west to south-south-east alignment were encountered and a fourth pit, which appeared to have been disturbed by animal burrowing, was located in an adjacent trench to the north. One of the pits was excavated and was shown to contain a sequence of sandy deposits, overlying a basal fill of blue clay. There was no artefactual dating evidence in the excavated deposits, but the pits conformed in appearance to known pit alignments in the region. In the eastern part of the site three ditches were encountered, one of which contained a sherd of medieval pottery. It is likely they are the remains of medieval agricultural boundaries. The possible enclosures shown in this area on the results of a geophysical survey of the site were demonstrated to be an amalgam of features, comprising the probable medieval ditches, modern land drains and variations in the geological substrate. The remains of a post-medieval/modern field boundary were located at the eastern edge of the site. Its position and alignment corresponds with a mapped boundary that was grubbed out in the latter half of the 20th century. Other features included modern land drains, vegetation features and an enigmatic geological tapered fissure.
