Description
The evaluation comprised the excavation of sixteen 30m trial trenches. The evaluation found a low concentration of ditches and pits spread across the site with a possible trackway identified in previous works to the west also picked up in the south-west of the site. A series of ditches found across the site at right angles to the trackway may represent the remnant of a prehistoric field system arranged around the trackway while the remaining features, including a possible ring ditch suggest at least a second phase of activity in the vicinity.
