Full Description
A small gully of unknown date was recorded in November 2012, during trial trenching on land off Hall Lane, Burgh le Marsh. The gully was aligned on a north-west to south-east axis, and was thought to have functioned as a former field boundary. A single pottery sherd of an undated fine sandy/organic fabric was recovered from the gully fill. {1}{2}
A possible continuation of the former field boundary was identified in October 2013, during a magnetometry survey conducted on land at Hall Lane, Burgh le Marsh. The feature was recorded as a linear magnetic anomaly, aligned on the same north-west to south-east axis previously observed. A discrete group of magnetic anomalies, thought to represent pit-like features, were also recorded a short distance to the south-west. {3}
The continuation of the ditch was confirmed in December 2013, during further trial trenching on land to the south of Hall Lane. One of the pit features was also excavated, although no finds were recovered from either feature, and both remain undated. {4}{5}
