Full Description
PRN 43831
Cropmark and earthwork features have been identified on aerial photographs which have been interpreted as medieval enclosures and boundary ditches. {1}
A trial trench was excavated across one of the cropmark features, and no evidence was found to suggest that they are of any antiquity. One was found to contain modern material and the other contained no dateable material and it is suggested that they are both relatively recent drainage works in an area where flooding was regular. The drain forming the modern boundary between this site and the village of Ingoldmells to the south was not present on the 1906 OS map which is further evidence for relatively recent alterations to drainage arrangements. It is likely that the cropmark features investigated in the evaluation are contemporary with this boundary and form part of the same drainage system. {2}{3}
