Description
Two allotment access points, between 28 and 36 Cressing Road and between 98 and 108 Cressing Road, provided the only vacant areas on the presumed eastern end of the earthwork system. These were examined by Trenches A and B respectively. Trench D was placed across a spur of land facing south and west, overlooking a dry valley, in order to pick up any settlement evidence on the only undeveloped area within the earthwork. Trench C cut the chord of a roughly circular low mound immediately north of the principal east-west boundary within the allotments.
