Abstract: |
The investigations comprised the excavation of three trenches, totaling 45m in length, each 15m in length and 1.6m wide. The trench evaluation has provided some evidence for archaeological activity on the site, comprising ditches located in Trenches 2 and 3. These features likely relate to former field systems or enclosure, possibly of medieval or later date. Feature F203 does not align with
any known local field boundaries nor does it appear to correspond with any known earthwork, and thus, it may represent an earlier form of demarcation. The ditch sampled in Trench 3 (F302) appears on a similar alignment to the extant earthwork and is likely to be
related to the former hedge bank, which continues c. 70m to the north-west. The heritage significance of these deposits is considered to be low. The earthwork survives in a moderate state of preservation; to a height of at least 0.6m. It does not appear to have been subject to intensive ploughing. |
