Full Description
PRN 23822
During a watching brief in 2000 and 2001, several undated features were recorded. These included ditches aligned north east to south west, north west to south east and north north east to south south west. These features suggested elements of land use. The north east to south west ditches are likely to represent field boundary ditches. A north east to south west furrow truncating one of the ditches suggests later, probable medieval land use. Finally, the north north east to south south west ditches are again thought to represent field boundary and drainage ditches.
The ditches contained multiple fills, possibly indicative of a less stable environment, arguing for a relatively early, possibly Romano British, date for some of the ditches. {1}{2}
