Description
In 2004 an area of almost 2 hectares was stripped in the North Field. Five ditches were uncovered, 2 date to the early Iron Age. One post medieval pit and 4 modern features were recorded. The ditches appear to relate to the Neolithic and later Iron Age Roman rectilinear field system laid out over the entire area. <3>
