An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the groundworks associated with the digging of a pond on land behind the 'Council Houses', Greatford. The work allowed a clearer understanding to be made of the relationship between the ditch features previously identified on this site. No dateable material was recovered from either ditch, and whilst they were thought to be contemporary with the Saxon activity previously identified in this area, one of the ditches had a sharp right-angled bend, which may suggest an earlier Roman date. {1}{2}
