Description
Fifty-five trial trenches measuring 2m wide and 50m long were excavated by a tracked excavator, equipped with a 2m wide toothless ditching bucket. Trenches 43, 46 and 47 were extended during the evaluation in order to understand better the extent and nature of their archaeological remains. Trench 49 near the east end of the site straddled an unforeseen hedge and was subsequently divided.
