Full Description
PRN 23889
An archaeological evaluation comprising fifteen trial trenches, was undertaken along the line of a proposed access road to the east of Woolhall Farm, Weston. The evaluation identified a number of undated (possibly post-medieval) ditches, predominantly east to west aligned. Following a general trend of north to south or east to west alignments, it is likely that the ditches identified form part of a system of post-medieval land drainage. An alternative interpretation (unsubstantiated) is that the shallow wide ditches may be remnants of medieval dylings. {1}{2}
