Summary
A number of pit and ditch features of uncertain date, on land off Station Road, Legbourne.
Type and Period (2)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
A number of linear and discrete magnetic anomalies were recorded in this location in July 2016, during magnetometry survey of land off Station Road. The anomalies were thought to represent the remains of probable ditch and pit features of likely archaeological origin, although no exact date for their creation could be determined. {1}
Subsequent trial trenching, conducted in October 2016, confirmed the presence of a number of ditch and pit-like features in this area. Most of the excavated features had not been identified by the previous geophysical survey, although one substantial ditch did appear to correlate with one of the identified linear magnetic anomalies. No dating material was recovered from the fills of these features, however, and their origins remain uncertain. {2}{3}
