Description
August 1993. Trial trenching.
A field evaluation of cropmarks (see EHER 8385) revealed prehistoric activity in the form of gullies and ditches. The largest ditch which is thought to have produced the linear cropmark contained no dating evidence.
Finds included prehistoric pottery, worked and burnt flint. The pottery was too small and abraded to give a precise date to the featurs from which they came. <1>
