Full Description
The remains of a large, steep-sided ditch was recorded in this area in October 2011, during archaeological monitoring of the installation of a new water mains pipe between North Thoresby and Tetney. The feature was aligned on a north to south axis, and had a width of 1.83m. The feature clearly pre-dated the establishment of North Thoresby village in this area, and it was thought possible that it may be of Iron Age or Roman date. No associated artefacts were recovered from the fill of the feature, however, and its exact origins could not therefore be determined. {1}{2}
